SABRINA
Today marks what is known as Holy Week. On Friday of this week, we remember the death of Jesus on the cross. We try to put ourselves in the disciples' shoes questioning ourselves. Surely we would not have played in the part of Jesus' followers as they fell asleep, betrayed, denied, fled. We will imagine what it was like for Jesus as he was arrested, whipped, humiliated, crowned with thorns, and hammered to a wooden cross.
We ask ourselves , "If this is Holy Week, what would an unholy week look like?"
Jesus chose the path of suffering and death so that we could be free of the punishment due us from sin. He took our place. There is no depth of despair to which we can ever descend that is lower than Jesus when he died under the weight of a world full of sin.
No matter how low we have been, or are at this moment, we know that this week serves as a reminder as we look toward Easter day, that Jesus would have walked the road of this week for just ONE of us. Let us never forget the price paid for us.
