Easter Sunday - Luke 24:1-8 01.04.2018 2:18 ↓

He is risen. He is risen indeed! Christians all the over the globe (and realms unknown to us!) will greet each other with these words today. From the womb of a rocky tomb, God has brought the miracle of new life, a resurrection! The large stone that had been placed in front of Jesus’ tomb was rolled away by the power of God. The seal of the Roman government, the authority of the Roman guards, the...

Silent Saturday - Matthew 12:39-40 and Matthew 27:57-60 31.03.2018 2:39 ↓

Have you ever had to wait for something? Waited for spring break to start? Waited to hear if you got the job? Waited for a baby to be born? These are all exciting things to wait for. But have you ever waited with a sense of dread? Like waiting in a hospital room or waiting for test results? Jesus said that “the sign of Jonah” would be offered to his contemporaries as a miraculous sign from God. Ju...

Good Friday - Matthew 27:45-51 and 54 30.03.2018 2:31 ↓

There’s not much good that happened on this particular Friday. Upon leaving the rented upper room after their Passover meal, Jesus and his disciples went out to the Mount of Olives. Jesus prayed and became so distressed at what lay in front of him that he literally sweat blood from his pores. The disciples did not understand... and fell asleep. Judas had chosen this moment to betray his master i...

Maundy Thursday - I Corinthians 11:23-26 29.03.2018 3:02 ↓

The room had been cleaned, the food had been bought, the table had been laid. Jesus had his disciples gathered in a rented “upper room” to celebrate the Jewish Feast of the Passover. This is a meal that they would have celebrated religiously every year of their lives. This particular year, however, Jesus introduced some major differences into the Passover proceedings. First, Jesus himself took the...

Spy Wednesday - Matthew 26:14-16 and John 13:27, 30 28.03.2018 2:42 ↓

Would you have liked to be one of Jesus’ 12 disciples? On the one hand, it would be beautiful to know him face to face, to hear his voice, to witness his life. On the other hand, the original 12 disciples had a pretty rough go of it. Often they misunderstood Jesus’ teachings and intentions. They were frustrated and often clueless. They also would have traveled from place to place and endured a ver...

Tuesday: Cleaning and Preparing - Matthew 21:12-13, Matthew 26: 17-30 27.03.2018 2:56 ↓

At our house, whenever we have company overnight or even over for dinner, we are sure to make preparations and do a little extra housecleaning. For Jesus, at the end of his life, it was no different. His last days were characterized by these two domestic impulses: cleaning and preparing. Jesus - in one of the few recorded moments in the Bible where he was angry and aggressive - took it upon himsel...

Monday: The Anointing of Jesus - Matthew 26:6-13 26.03.2018 2:13 ↓

Our senses have the power to transport us to another time and place when a connection is made to some part of our past. Hearing an old song can bring us back to a high school dance. Seeing an old familiar face can take us to the town where we grew up. Of all the senses, no other perception has this transportational potential than our sense of smell. When Jesus had an entire bottle of perfume wash...
