Walking with Jesus in His Passion

Yesterday afternoon, 12 people gathered for a walk through the Biblical account of the Passion of Jesus Christ. In the center of the room were objects significant to the week. Each person had 1 or 2 scriptures to read and then they found the object and passed it around the room. There were 15 total...including; a sword, wine/bread, water basin, perfume, palm branch, crown of thorns, a rubber rooster, a cross, and many other objects that were significant to the last week of Jesus' life. It was a powerful time where we talked about how gruesome the sufferings of Christ were. We also talked about Jesus as our servant and how instead of being a military conquerer, Jesus came in as a servant to pay for our sins and love us in a way no human being is capable of doing. When we were finished, we prayed together and enjoyed a delicious soup supper. Becca, the leader of the ministry, played a significant role in the teaching time. We are looking ahead to Global Impact in a few weeks where we can all serve others and the Lord together.
