Hi friend,
Meditations matter.
They gently draw our attention to quiet, extraordinary movements of God. There's something about hushed remembrance—as the Psalmist says—deep calling to deep.
Our room becomes still. Our hearts soften in quiet honor to the Holy One who gave His everything. We pull each other a little closer as we remember that our lives are that precious. And we are that loved.
So we mark this one week out of the year as sacred.
Rinne and I have been reflecting on our Lord Jesus' Last Supper and would like to share it with you.

We're imagining this scene:
a lamp-lit Middle Eastern room from two millennia past,
looking nothing like we
in our postmodern world,
have ever pictured.
imagine being present
in the room
in this
intimate moment
with Jesus Himself
and His disciples
you're watching
this
in utter
silence
soaking in
what you're
seeing and hearing
in person
notice the urgency
the undercurrent of anxiety
yet...HIS stunning inner peace:
one last meal
with the noise of the throng
still pulsing in Your brain
You pulled together Your people
Your inner circle
and You took them
away
away from the melée and the white hot spotlight
away from conspiracies in dark corners
plots to kill
the intrigue
the betrayal
away to breathe
to gather around
a simple table
as brothers
as friends
for one
last
meal
as the night closed in
You bent down
and poured water on their feet
washed them clean
broke open bread
and poured out wine
which blew their minds
Your words rang so cryptic in their ears
they could hardly hear
through their fear
look at Me—
look at Me
keep your focus
You said
it will get dark
darker than this
darker than the blackest night
but trust what I’ve said
in the light
you know far more than you think you do
you are not abandoned
I will come to you
stay together
do not cave to fear
there is so much more here than meets the eye
your gasping pain will turn to joy
trust in Me
focus
stay as one
don’t split up, don’t scatter
when it all comes down
one thing matters
this is what you must remember
when My blood has spilled
and My earthly life is through…
it’s for you
Observing Good Friday through a lens we don't often look through, we'll be sharing another post tomorrow.
Grace and Peace,
Greg & Corinne
