Lamentations 3:40 -
"Let us search and try our ways and turn again to the LORD."
We have transgressed and have rebelled: yet thou hast pardoned.
During the Saturday before the first Easter, what would the disciples and other followers of Christ be thinking? Story Over? Game over? Dreams over? No more Kingdom? Go back to the old ways?
Well, now that today we know that neither the story, nor the game was far from over, what are we thinking? As we wait in eager hope for Easter Sunday, what are we busy with? Maybe preparing the grand Easter meal. Or shopping. Or trying to get Easter eggs. Or maybe, like the disciples, simply meditating on the outcome of Christ's crucifixion. Thinking about what life will be without Christ. As far as we, personally, are concerned, was it a wasted sacrifice? Did we reciprocate His great love? Do we intend to? If so when? When it is too late?
Let's think about how we have personally upheld and honoured Christ's death on the cross. What we have done and what we need to do. It's not the New Year which needs resolutions. It's Easter.
Did you notice anything different in the opening verse? No? Read it again. There is a difference, and that difference is Jesus Christ.
Lamentation 3 paints the picture of a life without Christ. But we, have Him. Let's not lose Him.
