Today’s Thought “No More Shopping Sprees…” G. Ward

Judges 2:10 “All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.”

Great celebration included tens of thousands shouting acclamations at Christ upon His triumphal entry into Jerusalem one week before His merciful compliance in dying for the worst in society then and now. Holy week’s transcendence to spiritual preparation from generations prior witnessed great shopping for garments of pungent pastels, Easter baskets and hams, etc., to now see a diminishing of what should be the greatest day of reckoning life given for the purpose of the Master (cf. Gal.2:20), to unfortunate admittance that Easter morning and my attending services won’t have me purporting more hypocrisy by purchasing a new outfit along with criticisms from those church people that point out my irregularity!

What will Easter look like in another fifty years if we continue to blame preachers with planes, trains and ostentatious automobiles for our lack in recognizing a reasonable reciprocity unto the Savior who loves us until the end (*cf. Jer. 23:1-3)?
