Easter Week 2021

Atonement has many dimensions, and the important thing to understand is that it is a living principle for today, because Good Friday lives with the cross. And the cross...
 Becomes the symbol of the goodness of God, and that is why Good Friday is GOOD Friday. Dallas Willard Ministries YouTube channel: "What's Good About Good Friday" 1of 3
"Craftiness of Christ: The Wisdom of the Hidden God" by

"In light of who Jesus really is, we would err badly if we were to describe his torture and death simply as “The Passion.” Suffer he certainly did. But it is Jesus himself who was in charge of the events and people involved in the story.⠀"The Craftiness of Christ" by Dallas Willard
"Jesus very carefully planned his death. You don’t want to think of Jesus as a victim. He was playing Pilate and the other authorities like a great artist plays the piano." Dallas Willard Ministries
"Keep Holy Saturday in faith and hope." YouVersion Bible app "Lent for Everyone"
"Love Moved First" by Casting Crowns listen here

"Playing Pilate and the other authorities like a great artist plays the piano. Don't ever think of him as a victim." source
Quotes for writing of Dallas Willard
Resurrection of Jesus: Luke 24 Bible Project video watch it here
"Salvation is not just forgiveness, but a new order of life. We must engage in a radical rethinking of the Christian conception of salvation. What does it mean to be “saved?” What do people understand when they hear “salvation,” “redemption,” and other New Testament terms used to refer to God’s action in restoring women and men to their intended place in his world? Is it possible that we’ve been robbed of the words’ true and coherent concepts?" p.32⠀The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard
 and a blog post I created in gratitude
Unitarian Universalist services have been so beautiful and poignant click here for Easter Service
"Voice of The Father" read more here
source "...represents the same gesture and bodily pose one is forced to take while being frisked by the police – legs spread and arms up. This painting connects the countless experiences of people victimized by racial profiling. It also references the artist’s personal account of being stopped and frisked by the police during college. Spann states that the painting draws upon the “intensity of that moment being profiled,” or what he calls being “marked.”
"Yes, it was the Father's will--this is clear from dozens of passages--but it was the Son's choice. Even at the very end, just before His death, Jesus said, "Don't you know that I could call to My Father and He would send more than 12 legions of angels?" Matthew 26:53
Zechariah is one of the Books of the Bible I am reading/listening to this week
