Because Lutherans are on pilgrimage. Holy Week invites each one of us to journey with Jesus through the gates of Jerusalem, to eat with him and hear his commandment to love one another, to stay and watch with him in the garden, to accompany him on the way to Calvary, to be present at his death, and to dance for joy at his resurrection. Let this Holy Week be an invitation to set your countenance on Jerusalem and, like Jesus, to journey to the Passover feast. In community, let us experience the remembrance of God’s saving deeds and encounter firsthand the power of the crucified and risen Christ to save and heal us. We are better together.
