I was reminded yesterday once again of the beautiful necessity and profundity of the gospel. That we are both more wicked than we could ever imagine and more loved than we could ever dare hope. That it is Christ’s life and death that is the cornerstone or foundation of everything in my life. That his life answers every deep question that I have for this life, while keeping hidden the shallow answers that I expect from God to appease me.
It is the Jewish festival of Passover and Jesus has come to Jerusalem knowing that by the end of the week he will suffer and die for our sins. It is Holy Week and Jesus is confronting the religious leaders of his day along with their authority. Jesus will declare his own ultimate authority.
