Reflections on the Scandal

Palm Sunday marked the beginning of Holy Week; the week leading up to Good Friday (when we remember Christ’s death on the cross), and Easter Sunday (when we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and victory over sin and death).

This year, to guide our thoughts and meditations in the build up to Easter, a number of friends and I have decided to spend time each day reading through a chapter of D.A. Carson’s book ‘Scandalous – The Cross and Resurrection of Jesus’. Each of the five relatively short chapters focusses on a different passage from the Bible and examines what can be said of this, the focal point of all history: the death and resurrection of the God-Man, Jesus Christ.

Each day this week, a different person from the Church will make a short blog post here, offering their reflections upon that day’s chapter. If you desire to join in with the reading, the book can be purchased here. However, if not, I hope that you find these coming posts helpful in drawing your thoughts towards the crucified and risen King this week.

Please also feel free to add your thoughts each day in the comments section for each blog post.
