If you are old enough you might remember the BC comic strip. I don’t know if it is still out there. One of the personalities involved was Willie. Willie had an aversion to water. When he came in contact with water he would go streaking across the landscape yelling something like, “Aaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!”. That is a paraphrase. I found myself saying the same thing this morning. His was panic. Mine was joy.
In my Worship of Thanks I was thinking about salvation and Jesus dying on the cross for my sins. I was saying, “Thank You, Jesus.” I was struck by how lame that was. My thoughts went back to Mel Gibson’s movie, The Passion of the Christ and a few moments of thinking about what the Spotless Lamb of God went through for me was enough to convict me of my shallow conception. So I said to myself, “Aaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!”
Good Friday is coming. Soon after we will celebrate the resurrection. There is much to be thankful for.
Aaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!
