Grieving Friday to get Sunday

On Sunday night i went to my new churches evening service and during the interactive Passion recount there was a station where you remembered someone who has died.

Not surprisingly, with my Dad passing away three months ago, this part was quite meaningful.

But the point that was being made was also really good.

Without identifying with the grief that the followers of Jesus felt, you can't adequately travel with them to Easter Sunday.

I find that we skip straight from Good Friday, often glancing over the injustice and brutality and fly directly to the empty tomb.

This exercise helped me stop on the Saturday.

And that's a positive thing.
