Last night I went to a Maundy Thursday/Good Friday service with my good friend Heather. At first, I really didn't want to go because it didn't start until 11 PM. But I also didn't like the idea of her walking across campus all by herself, so I agreed.
We started by meeting in the prayer chapel at Wesley. Then we went went upstairs to take communion. As I was kneeling at the cross, I was overwhelmed by gratitude. I am so grateful that God sent Jesus so that I could live. He saved me from myself so many times. It was a very humbling experience. The next thing we did was to read the last accounts of Jesus' life. We read in a circle and as each part was read, a candle was extinguished. By the end we were sitting in darkness. I sat there for a long time and realized that I had never taken time to truly consider the crucifixion. And that thought overwhelemed me.
I sat there in silence and this peace came upon my heart. I honestly cnan't remember the last time that I've been at peace with God. For that I am truly thankful for all that He gave.
Enjoy the Easter season.
