His Passion: My Salvation
Things are often not what they seem. We can be surprised by people who we looked at one way but who then revealed themselves to be something else. Circumstances and events can also astonish us by being more, or less, than what they first appeared to be. Is the same true of the Passion Week? Most today, in our post-Christian culture, don’t give the Passion a second thought. Others may see it but only in terms of an annual religious observance. But could it be that the eight days starting with Palm Sunday through to Easter and including Good Friday are more than what most might think? Is it possible that the Passion of Jesus makes a way for anyone who believes to be saved from themselves (a genuine concern), from this world (truly a mess), from the judgment of God (whether you believe it or not)? Could it be that his passion could result in my salvation? If so, then what we observe in these eight days is much more than it seems. And it is worth a look.
