I honestly don’t have a lot to write about today. But I avowed that I would try to write daily during Lent 2012, and so write I shall!
Saturday, I wrote about the Excel tripod, Prayer/Study/Action. For Lent this year, my study is a book entitled “The Last Week: A Day-by-Day Account of Jesus’s Final Week in Jerusalem” by Marcus Borg & John Dominic Crossan. This book uses the Gospel of Mark to walk through Holy Week.
I’ve just completed Chapter 4 (Wednesday). They have covered the topic of Substitutionary vs Participatory Atonement which I found highly interesting and compelling, as well as anecdotally the story of the woman who annointed him with oil at the home of Simon the leper, terming her the first believer and the model leader.
It has left me wondering… am I truly prepared to follow Jesus, to actually participate IN Jesus by passing through death into a new life here on earth? Are you? Is anyone?
