This week, the whole world will set aside time to acknowledge the death, burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Churches all over the world will hold special services on Good Friday to revisit “The Last Words of Jesus.”
On Sunday, some of those same churches will rent out convention centers and arenas to welcome thousands of people who will attend worship services, wearing their Sunday best. (I can hear my mother say, “Girl, you are sharp as a tack,” or “Boy, you are cleaner than the board of health!” I sure do miss her.) Later, after eating a delicious dinner, many families may watch “The Ten Commandments” on television.
After all, this week is paramount in the lives of believers. Our entire relationship with God and our salvation are based upon Who Jesus is and the sacrifice He chose to make for us. We should forever be grateful that He lives, He bled, He died, and He rose with all power for you and me!
But, after the celebrations are held throughout Holy Week, I wonder, “Will anything really change in our daily lives when the services end?”
