THE TASK: SURRENDER
25th March
Into your hands Lord I commend my Spirit...that was not merely words said by Jesus at the end of his life, it was an attitude with which he live his entire life. That is precisely why even his death proved to be a triumph.
Jesus is the High Priest, the Sacrificial Lamb and the Sacrificial Altar at one and the same time. The Sufferings of Christ become the salvation of our beings. The Cross becomes the sign through which we are saved.
Sufferings in our lives have to be faced with a sense of surrender, that they may serve to be instruments that reveal the very significance of our life.
