Good Call

The B.C. comic strip once posted a piece on Good Friday:

“I hate the term ‘Good Friday’”, says the forlorn caveman.

“Why?”, a second character replied.

“My Lord was hanged on a tree that day.”

Caveman #2 responds, “If you were going to be hanged that day and he volunteered to take your place, how would you feel?”

“Good.”

Turning to go on his way, Caveman #2 calls back, “Have a nice day”.

Throughout their years of befriending international students, many host families have welcomed scholars to their homes during holiday seasons – Easter weekend included.

The curious and wonderful thing about hospitality in the name of Christ is that it’s not so much about the actions themselves.

The aim is not the Sunrise Service or the musical event. The objective of the weekend isn’t just the fun of watching children scurry across the landscape in pursuit of elusive eggs, nor even of special mealtimes together – as pleasant as these are.

The treasure of the weekend is found in the extraordinary person being celebrated. Melodic lyrics center us afresh on the good of Good Friday,

I’m coming back to the heart of worship. . . It’s all about you – Jesus*

Here’s hoping for our readers a Good Friday leading to a Glorious Sunday.
