The Journey
Mark 16:1-20
Scripture for Easter Sunday, April 4

Today we begin Holy Week, the last week of Jesus’ life. We like Palm Sunday and the celebration. But we want to forget all that happens during Holy Week and just go on to Easter Sunday. Yet, to go from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday doesn’t give us the whole story, does it? And just like in our lives, only thinking about the times of joy doesn’t tell our whole story either. We would rather forget the times of sorrow and suffering but like it or not, those times are a part of who we are. So as we travel with Jesus through Holy Week, let’s look for the moments of joy, the precious moments of life, even in the midst of the sorrow. Those are the moments for Jesus, and for us, when we experience the holy touch of God.

Give us Your eyes, God, to see the holy in our daily lives. Amen.
