We went to several different Easter programs this year at Church. We went to our Churches' Good Friday Service and it was very moving. We had different people in the Church that read scripture of what happened on that Friday. There were twelve candles lit on our main table at the front of the Church and as the folks read the snuffed out the candles. This symbolized the twelve disciples turning their backs on Jesus. We had one big candle and it symbolized Jesus. After all of the readings and all of the candles except the big one were extinguished they blew out the big one and the sanctuary was dark. This was very sad. It showed in a simplistic way how the disciples must have felt after they had turned their back on Jesus.
On Saturday one of my neighbors Churches did their Easter program and I went to that one too. They acted out the last days of Jesus. It was very touching. I cried through most of it. You do not realize what Jesus went through for us until you see it acted out in front of you. It went from the garden where Jesus was arrested, to Pilate having him flogged, and then crucified. I have read the story many times but to actually see what they did and how they did it. It really touches my heart that he loved us so much that he suffered so much for us. It is really something to see this acted out.
This was on my heart this morning.
