The Triumphant Cross

From Cuernavaca Mexico

Tomorrow we will go into the Calle (street) in front of the university to watch a procession of people making their way to a local parish. They will be carrying figures of Mary and Jesus, some will carry large crosses, and in some places, actual nails will be used to "crucify" someone representing Christ. Not sure all we will see tomorrow, but at three o'clock, the doors to the church will be shut, the hour of Jesus' death. They will reopen on Easter Sunday.




But there will be no shout of triumph without experiencing the triumph of the cross over sin in our lives. Devoted, well meaning people, will go through ancient traditions to please Christ and demonstrate their devotion to Him. But he requires our heart, our worship, our lives! And offers intimate authentic relationship. Let us draw near and worship our crucified, risen, glorious, triumphant, majestic Saviour.






May your season of Pascua (easter) be celebrated fittingly, as to a faithful Saviour, risen in power from the grave, seated a the right hand of the Father, in glory and majesty.
