Passion Sunday

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 16 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

It's Sunday, y'all! It's Passion Sunday! Holy Week starts today.

This is a shot of the Lord's Table in our church. The purple colors of Lent represent royalty -- Jesus is King of kings. The Thorns remind us of the suffering and humiliation he suffered at the cross. The open Bible tells us that God's story is one of saving grace and redemption; even in moments of pain and sorrow. For God has been one with us, God is among us. Immanuel.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Hey V.F....I've been a busy lad these last few days..you know..work/Welsh rugby/family commitments...so,life's been a little hectic..and then I stopped by this post of yours and everything was put back into perspective.Although I'm not of the same "persuasion" as a large chunk of this p/blog community,I don't have a closed mind and can see where the peace comes from...
Blimey pal..!!!that was nearly a confession...oh well..back to hectic..!!!

This is very beautiful, VF; I have a couple of similar shots coming up later this week.
We brought back a thorn from a tree in Jerusalem; it is just short of 3.5" long and very sharp.
It's a definite reminder of what Jesus did for us. God bless......
