Scripture: Isaiah 52:13–53:12; Luke 24

“Christmas to Easter! How quickly pass the hours and days before us. But they went more slowly when measured by footsteps to the Babe of Bethlehem’s manger and by the footsteps of the man of sorrows who trod up Calvary’s hill.” –Fruit of the Vine

Query: Can you think of a recent experience of or encounter with God’s love?

Just once so far this season

Has the great egret been there

At the bend in the road

By the edge of the water

But the watching for her

The every day catch in my throat

At the possibility of this time—

The watching is wonder enough

–Bethany Lee, The Breath Between
