Holy
Week Meditations
2016
For several
years I have written meditations for Holy Week. This year I was not sure what
my focus would be on until June, my wife, was preaching a sermon on healing.
One of her texts touched my spirit. I was moved by the words “by his wounds you
have been healed.”
I have decided
to write my meditations in a poetic form this year.
Healing is a
creative process that calls for creative thinking and writing.
Here is the
biblical text that has informed my spirit in writing these meditations.
“To this you were
called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you
should follow in his steps.
‘He committed
no sin,
and
no deceit was found in his mouth.’
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he
did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted
himself to him who judges justly. 24 ‘He himself bore our sins’ in
his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;
‘by his wounds you have been healed.’” (I Peter 2:21-24 New International
Version).
Have a Blessed
Holy Week as you prepare your heart to celebrate Good Friday and Resurrection
Sunday.
