Route 42 Pastor Chris Cahill

Today is Easter Sunday! On this day Christians say “The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed!”
When Jesus rose from the dead, His glorious body still bore the scars from the nails that pierced his hands and feet and nailed him to the cross. In the Forgiving Challenge earlier this year, we were reminded of the acronym “S.C.A.R.S.” that stands for Sin, Confession, Absolution, Restoration, and Sanctification. Good Friday (the day when Jesus was crucified) is the day of Absolution, when Jesus washed away all our sins with His death on the cross. Easter Sunday is the day of Restoration, because the empty tomb is not only the sign that God restored His Son to life after His death, but that He accepted the sacrifice of Jesus as more than enough payment for all our sins, restores us to life in His love, and will restore our bodies to bring us into heaven.

When Jesus rose from the dead early on Easter Sunday, only Mary Magdalene saw him at the garden tomb. It wasn’t until the afternoon of that day that He showed Himself alive to two grieving disciples, and it wasn’t until the evening of that day that He showed Himself alive to the rest of the disciples - well, except for Thomas. It wasn’t until the next Sunday evening, when Jesus showed up to them again, that Thomas finally saw Him with his own eyes and believed the witness of the rest.

This episode was recorded on Friday in Holy Week, March 29, 2024. We also know it as Good Friday - the day Jesus died on the cross. In this worship service we heard the whole story of His suffering and death from the Gospel according to Saint Luke, and spent some time thinking about what this story means for us - and also what it doesn’t mean.

Today is Thursday in Holy Week. We also know it as Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday. “Maundy” comes from the same ancient word as “commandment.” It reminds us that on the night before His death on the cross, when Jesus ate the Passover meal with His disciples and transformed it into what we know as The Lord’s Supper, He commanded them to love one another and to celebrate this meal often through the ages, until He comes again in glory to take His people to heaven.

We started the “Serving Challenge” with Saint Paul’s words in his letter to the Philippians, “have the same mind as Christ.” Now that we’ve talked about attitude, availability, action, and ability, there’s one last aspect of our serving we need to consider: ambition. So think about what you wanted to grow up to be when you were a kid. Was that just wishful thinking, and your life didn’t exactly turn out that way? Or was it an ambition, and you worked hard and with focus to make that childhood dream come true? And what if we said that Saint Paul’s words “have the same mind as Christ” was his ambition for every Christian? Join us to find out more!

When and how a person decides to serve another person, or a cause, depends on several things. Whether that person is agreeable to serving the other person, or cause, for instance - that’s Attitude. Whether he or she has enough time on their schedule, or money in their bank account - that’s Availability. What she or he ultimately decides to do - that’s Action.
This week in the Serving Challenge we’ll think about Ability, and that asks us to consider quite a lot. What are you physically able to do? What’s your level of experience with the service you’re being asked to perform? What kinds of gifts has God given you, that enable you to encourage the faith of others by your service? Join us!
