My new experiences the past two weeks included a visit to a Jewish synagogue, being among a group of interfaith sisters over a lovely kosher brunch. Other faiths were represented also. An encouragement to read sacred scripture came from the rabbi. So much of the Holy Week traditions in the Christian faith are rooted in the Jewish faith. Yes, how we differ, but oh how much we are alike. We women need each other. We people need each other.
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” ~ Psalm 22:1
On Palm Sunday, our priest exhorts us all to read Psalm 22 this Holy Week. Then later, on Sunday I read a Substack post about Psalm 22 that includes a descriptive poem reaching the heart. Take a gander at The Rabbit Room at rabbitroompoetry@substack.com. Soulful words. I see this Bible reading timeline for this Holy Week on social media. Old and New Testament scriptures point to Jesus, His death and resurrection. Do you believe He died for you? More, do you believe He has risen and gives that new life to you? This Holy Week I pray you believe with your heart that Jesus is your Savior. Nothing else and no one else can do this for you. You can be born again!
