First United Reformed Church of Oak Lawn
Preparing for corporate worship March 26, 2023
Tomorrow is the Lord's Day. The blessing of the day to the Christian is obvious. To the world, it's just part of the "weekend." It is a blessing to be part of a church which highly values this day.
Tomorrow we take up "To the Cross" #3 and #4.
There is good reason for that division. In the morning we will pay attention to various responses to the Lord. Each of those responses shows once again that Jesus is in charge. But then a great change occurs. At the end of the morning text Jesus is flogged. This terrible torture sets the stage for more abuse and mocking in the evening text. We might be inclined to ask why the Bible is so transparent and blunt to record the torture the Lord endured. Come morning and evening tomorrow to find out more!
