Healing our Sorrows

Series Title: Holy WeekSeries Summary: Over the Lenten season, we focused our attention on Lament. As we come to Holy Week, our attention shifts to hope. On Palm Sunday, we will see how praise and lament collide as Jesus weeps over Jerusalem, revealing himself as the prophet who not only laments but acts to bring an end to all laments. On Easter Sunday, we will celebrate how the risen Christ meets us in our sorrow, as we see him meet two disciples traveling on a road toward the town of Emmaus. There, we get a glimpse of a future where lament is healed, and God wipes away every tear.Passages: Luke 24:13-35Speaker: Omar OrtizOn the Road to Emmaus, the sorrow of two disciples is transformed. Their hearts were “burning” as they met the resurrected Jesus. The resurrection offers the promise that all that we lament will be healed when we draw near to Jesus, and Jesus draws near to us.
