HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!

As a church during Lent we have focused on the seven last words of Christ. For holy week we are sharing some artwork by Scott Erickson inspired by the traditional seven last words of Jesus from the cross.

Today is Jesus’s words, “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.”

Jesus trusted the Father. So should we. Our Father has good hands and we can trust Him, even when His will seems odd to us.

SIDE NOTE – If you don’t have a home church in the Stevens Point Area we (Tapestry) would love for you to join us for worship today (Sunday) at 10:30 am at Washington Elementary School (3500 Prais Street, Stevens Point)

Today is “It is finished.”

Jesus completed the Father’s will and all that is necessary for us to be a part of the Kingdom of God. He declared it all to be accomplished. We have to learn to trust that He completed all that was necessary for us to receive and live in God’s grace.

Today is “I thirst”

Today remember that Jesus said this according to the passage so that scripture would be fulfilled (John 19:28-30). Even during His suffering our Lord’s actions went to fulfilling the Father’s will. He was faithful even in His thirst and need. So should we be.

Today is “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Today remember that God incarnation became forsaken to save those who were forsaken. He screamed “My God, my god, why have you forsaken me”, so that we wouldn’t be forsaken even when we feel that we are.

Today is “”Dear woman, here is your son. And you here is your mother.”

During His passion Jesus proclaimed a new family in the church. Therefore, in the church there are no orphans nor any childless individuals. We are all family through our Lord and should live that out in care and love.

Today is Jesus’s words to the thief beside Him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Those who know Jesus as Lord have a Savior Who remembers them even in the midst of His greatest agony.

Today is “Father forgive them for they do not know that they do.”

As we remember our Lord’s sorrowful passion may we remember His forgiveness and extend that forgiveness to others as well as receive it ourselves.

SIDE NOTE – I would highly encourage you to go to Scott Erickson’s website and look at his art. So much of it has been very meaningful to my family. His modern icon of Eve & Mary hangs on our Dining Room wall.
