A Joyful Sorrow: Our Lord Willed to Suffer & Die For Us

April 18, 2021 - Today is Passion Sunday. It is the day that both sets the tone and gives a framework of true meaning that helps us prepare to journey with our Lord to and through His Passion and to His Resurrection throughout Holy Week. Today we look at two truths. The first is that no one but Christ Himself had the power and authority to lay down His life so that we could be with Him eternally. The second truth we see before us this day is the result of the finished work of Jesus Christ. He, as our Great High Priest, now stands in the tabernacle eternal offering the blood He chose to shed that our sins may be covered, our consciences freed, and our lives restored and made whole again. Our journey with Christ to His Passion is truly a journey of joyful sorrow.
