Passion Week 2020 has passed. Palm Sunday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black (Silent) Saturday, and Resurrection Sunday have come and gone. For nearly two-thousand years the Church has celebrated the events of this week. After all, the culmination of The Gospel that our faith rests upon occurred in this week. It is during this week that, after dwelling upon His earth, Christ bore the sins of men upon that old rugged cross. The Sinless One died for sinful ones. Yet, He victoriously rose to reign over sin, death, and Satan. Later, He would ascend into heaven to return to the glory He had before the world existed. What a glorious week! But, before we move on too quickly we would be wise to ponder how the experience of Jesus relates to the experience of the Christian. I am convinced that far too often we gloss over a major biblical theme that comes to its climax in the Passion of Christ. Moreover, I am concerned that a promise from Christ Himself is frequently disregarded in His Church. So, what do the experiences of Christ during the week before His death teach us about our lives now? What is this biblical theme that is brushed aside? What is this promise of Christ that is ignored?
