Hello All! As we head into Easter weekend, I wanted to take a moment to talk about MY favorite part of the Easter story. We took the kids to see the King of Kings movie this past weekend, and it really touched my heart. Every time I think of our Savior's sacrifice and His defeat of death, I can't help but tear up, though I would argue that my favorite part of the story isn't what you would expect. My favorite part happened on Good Friday when the Lord took the curtain that separated the temple from the Holy of Holies and tore it from top to bottom. The image of that thick, tall curtain ripping from the highest point is the most emotional for me. All the barriers between us and God were removed in that one symbolic action. As if allowing His Son to be sacrificed wasn't dramatic enough, God made His intentions impossible to ignore when He took a 60-foot-tall curtain and rent it in two. Every time I am able to reach out in prayer or cry out to our Lord in the dark of night, it is because the veil between us has been divided by Jesus' sacrifice. Thank Him for His sacrifice and celebrate His defeat of death this weekend and every day after. Amen. Amen.
