Our weeks have their highs. Our weeks have their lows. But in reality no week compares to that Easter week. The Eternal Son of God sharing, serving, crying, suffering, risking, praying, carrying, hoping, gasping, and, yes, dying. A descent we can’t imagine. An ascent we can't believe. As my friend Karl says, “God wills to lose in order that humanity may gain. Here is a sure and certain salvation for humanity, and a sure and certain risk for God.”
That was the week of all weeks. It was the week to which all history flowed. It is the week from which all time proceeds. The salvation of our cosmos was accomplished in that week. This Easter, may Christ be your low. May Christ be your high.
A lot can happen in seven days.
