"Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani?"



Translation....My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?




Easter weekend is upon us and we just got out of school for Easter break. This afternoon was Family Day for the junior high and high school...My vocal kids sang and other students spoke about what God is doing in their lives! It was awesome. Toward the end of the program one of my students sang the song "Why" and the rest of the group acted the song out....powerful! Very powerful. This picture was taken on Tuesday night when we had our Easter program.


This past week I've really been thinking about exactly why Jesus died on the cross for me....why He would do such a thing...why God would send Him....its simple....one word....LOVE.


God loved me so much that He sent His Son....to be beaten....and to die....for me.

And what am I doing to show my appreciation for Him? What am I doing to show my love for Him? NOT ENOUGH that's for sure.


Take the time this weekend to reflect on your life....ask yourself the question..."Am I doing everything I can to show my love for my Father?" "Am I living the way in which He would want me to live?"
