Wedding of Cana
“Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest!” the crowds shouted as Christ triumphantly entered the holy city of Jerusalem for the last time. Save us, grant us blessing in the highest places. The Jewish people were a conquered people, they carried the brutal weight of the Romans on their back. They would be saved.
The whole city shook with the question of, “Who is this?” Who is this man, fully human yet fully divine? My question is during Holy Week is who is Christ to you?
What kind of God comes to this world, lives precisely the same way we do, lives a life of radical poverty, heals, teaches and allows the very same people he came to save to turn him over to be beaten, whipped, tortured and crucified?
A God of love does that. A God that has a radical love for his people, a love that is unheard of and that we can only scratch the surface of. During this holiest of days, let this question of who Christ is not be far from our hearts and minds.

God is love and if we believe in Him, it remains in our heart to show us the good way to go. Holy Week of recollection.

Hello there! I just wanted you to know that I have recently shut down my blog “Love with a Dark Heart in Chains.” As you may or may not have guessed, I had quite a crazy amount of drama happening on my blog and I had to shut it down. My new blog is quite the opposite and its all about new beginnings and starting over. As one of my loyal readers I wanted to give you the link to my new blog. Here it is https://unchainedshadow.com/ God Bless, and excellent post!
