Passion is a kind of waiting - waiting for what
other people are going to do. Jesus went to Jerusalem to announce the good news
to the people of that city. And Jesus knew that He was going to put a choice
before them: Will you be My disciple, or will you be My executioner? There is no
middle ground here. Jesus went to Jerusalem to put people in a situation where
they had to say "Yes" or "No". That is the great drama of Jesus' passion: He had
to wait for their response. What would they do? Betray Him or embrace Him?
-- Henri Nouwen
Lord, will you please enter
our seasons of passion,
our seasons of pausing...
with Your peace,
with Your presence.
In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Please Love Jesus Passionately!
Grateful
