Holy Week

We had Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services at church, not something we usually do, and they were so good. I am glad that they prompted me to think... about what Christ went through on the way to and while He was on the cross. He knew exactly what was coming, and He did it anyway. And the worst part was... He did it alone. That struck me this year and bowled me over. He knows what it's like to be completely alone. Even the Father turned away when Jesus took the sin of the world on Him. I know it's because of my situation this Easter, but I'm comforted to know that Jesus knows that pain, too, and He cares and He loves me.
