Just viewed Brians posting and, voila, the same painting by my favourite artist. Worth going all the way to Glasgow just to see it. Great works this week Brian.

The Cross.
orchidee said:

Happy to \'bear with\' you in this week! We felt some nails and thorns in palms of our hands at one service, to remind us of the pains. A fine write again Gold.

Repentance and Forgiveness.
orchidee said:

Yes, a necessarily \'heavy\' time, then the mood changes on the Sunday/Sabbath (which is Saturday really, I know!).
We are \'journeying\', somehow continuing with Jesus in His trials, as He said. This series helps me - renews and reminds me.
You washing any feet tonight? Some places have such a service.

Repentance and Forgiveness.

Another well crafted write in the \'series\'.

Repentance and Forgiveness.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold.
As in hymns, was it: \'it was our sins that held Him there?\' Well, partly I think, but His love caused Him to stay there for us.
We would have had it (no hope) if He had come down from the cross, as some taunted Him to do.

A fine write Gold, almost in a cross-shape too.

Trial.

Thank you Brother, these were a challenge to do.

Trial.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

I\'m the ONE who shouted CRUCIFY
I\'m the ONE who raised His Cross on high
I\'m the ONE who stood and watched Him DIE
What have I done ~ I\'m the ONE !

Thanks ANDY for sharing the STATIONS of the CROSS
Always a CHALLENGE !
Love the PICTURE ~ Very graphic!
And a real manly MAN !
Yours ~ BROTHER JOHN !

I enjoyed reading this. Itā€™s nice to be boldly reminded of the reality of the crucifixion sometimes. What people were missing with eyes wide shut! Great write

Trial.

Strong and strangely \"modern\" - does nothing ever change?

Trial.
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Gold,
I agree with the comments made by Michael, Orchi, and you!
It seems that, ā€œThe more things change, the more they stay the sameā€!

Trial.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. The \'religious\' leaders got some of Jesus\' most scathing comments. They were the hypocrites, not the \'common people\'.
Of course this does not mean all religious/Christian/spiritual leaders.

Strong and emotive - great scribe Andy.

Gethsemane.
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Gold,
This is a beautiful posting!
The picture is exquisite and your poem accentuates its profound meaning!

As a side note, in my Italian dialect ā€œsemaneā€ means weeks! I find that very interesting as it being part of the word ā€œGethsemaneā€!

Gethsemane.

Thank you Brian, they are very meaningful.

Gethsemane.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Lest I forget GETHSEMENE
Lest I forget Thy Love to me
Lest I forget thine Agony
LEAD ME TO CALVARY !

Thanks for sharing ANDY ~ Holy Week
Is very special ! I love the STATIONS
of the Cross and have often participated

Yours BRIAN

First class writing Andy

Gethsemane.
orchidee said:

Thanks Gold. Well, we had no sermon - ooh! The long readings took up the time.
And yet to point out a friend (or former friend?) with a kiss was despicable, outrageous, etc.
Do we have some care and thought for Judas though, later on, when he plunges into the darkness of suicide?

March 26th, 2018 02:00

Gethsemane.
orchidee said:

I read recently that Judas needed to kiss Jesus, or give some other indication of who He was, because of Jesus\' \'ordinariness\', not appearing as a super-saint nor with a halo. The crowd may not have known which one was Jesus otherwise.

March 26th, 2018 01:43

Gethsemane.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Maybe they would have stayed awake, but their \'flesh\' got too tired. Jesus says to them in one (or more?)gospel: \'The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak\'.

I played backgammon so long ago now, I think it\'s a side of bacon!
