Lent with Lozza — Day Forty-Four and Day Forty-Five

Yesterday was Good Friday and a very good Friday it was. I did crafts in the morning with young kids, read the story of Christ's death with my older kids in the afternoon, followed by communion and a dinner of fish and chips.

My housemate said something yesterday that struck me. He said that during holy week we seem to mourn Christ's death for a whole week, but only celebrate his resurrection for one day. I'd never thought of that before, but he kind of had a point. Made me realize that we should be celebrating our savior all year long. How do we do this? We spread his love. 

With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

-Mark 15:3-39

I can't imagine how mortified the people felt at this point. They had just killed the Messiah. Christ knew his calling though and he answered it. And He has placed a call on our lives. Will you answer it?
