The Three Holy Days in three words

Confusion, Discomfort, Joy

Confusion: did the first disciples really understand at that moment the powerful changes Jesus made to the script for the passover meal? The radical freedom from death by the simple meal of bread and wine. As well as how the richness of Christ serving by cleaning you (baptism) and providing nourishment for your spirit (holy communion).


Discomfort: what's so good about Good Friday? Remembering how much Christ loved us...that he was willing to die for us. We do squirm during the service, it is uncomfortable to ponder his last seven words of love.

Joy: he is not in the tomb, He is Risen
