Because everyone loves a good story
Two of my favorite poets–John Donne and Gerard Manley Hopkins–have written short poems that will draw our hearts toward the truth of Jesus’ resurrection this Easter. Join me in meditating on them!
Here’s a brief poem to help you meditate on Christ, the suffering Servant. May you have a blessed Easter, friend!
Isaiah 52:7 says, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, ‘Your God reigns.'”
In meditating on Good Friday and Easter this year, I wanted to write a poem celebrating the One who came to bring good news–the best news of forgiveness and life. I hope you’re encouraged to worship Him even more deeply. Have a blessed Easter, friends!
This Good Friday, do yourself a delightful favor and check out Andrew Peterson’s albums for the Lenten season. This week’s little blurb is pretty much a commercial for these fabulous albums, so be sure to check it out!
With all the hype of Easter, it can be easy to let Good Friday slip by without much notice. This year, I’d encourage you to take a few moments with this short post and meditate on the beauty of God’s plan. We’ll look together at the last song Jesus sang before his crucifixion, and we’ll marvel at the prophetic power of this Psalm.
This is a Good Friday meditation that I penned several years ago. The style is in grateful appreciation of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ influence, but the content is that of indescribable awe of a Savior who would choose to drink the cup of wrath in our place.
