Our church had a communion Good Friday service this evening. A gentleman sang Ray Boltz’s powerful song, Watch the Lamb. Tim and I both love this song and the gentleman singing introduced it by asking the congregation to imagine what it would be like to have been in Jerusalem during the time these momentous events were taking place.
When we got home, I happened to see a friend’s blog had a posting titled, Watch the Lamb. In it she had a You Tube video of the Ray Boltz song, complete with clips from the Passion of Christ. We watched it as a family and were all touched by the images of Christ going to the cross. The older children have seen different movies depicting Christ’s last days (our all time favorite is the Visual Bible Matthew) but still Rachel and Daniel were moved to see how beaten and bloody Jesus was on the cross. David was rather shocked by it all.
I don’t know how to put a YouTube clip on to the blog at this point (and my web guru, Tim, is already in bed) so go to Yvonne’s site and click on the play button. Watch the Lamb is a moving song about a man who goes to Jerusalem with his two little boys and gets swept into carrying Jesus’ cross.
Happy Good Friday to you all! Praise God for sending His son to die on the cross for us, that we could have eternal life with Him.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die…” John 11:25-26a
How are you celebrating this Resurrection weekend?
