Remembrance

I have been encouraging the congregation of New River Worship Center to use the period we call Holy Week as a time of personal reflection and remembrance. How long has it been since you took the time to read the story concerning the last week of Christ's life on planet Earth? Is it possible that we overlook the tragedy and challenges of the last week in the life of Christ as we hurry toward the celebration of the Resurrection? Don't misunderstand my thoughts; if Christ had not risen from the dead then our faith would be in vain. But we must remember that the sacrificial death of Christ paid the price for our redemption. We must never forget the price that was paid for our spiritual freedom from the clutches of sin and evil. This is a week to remember the awesome revelation of the love of God through Christ which was declared on that old rugged cross on the hill called Golgotha.
