As we concluded our Good Friday service today at West New Bern Presbyterian church, I was blessed by the seven clergy from local churches and their musicians, as well as their congregations that spent three hours in worship on such a beautiful day. It demonstrates how much some adore Christ. In an essay by Maggie Ross in the March/April Weavings, Ross points out that "we are what we adore" (pg. 14). Perhaps that is why Mary Magdalene was the first one to find an empty tomb on Easter morning -- she adored Jesus so much that she did not care what others thought about her devotion to him, even in his death!
Lord, what is it that I adore the most in life? My time, energy and check book reveals it!
