Good Friday Adventures

One of the most worshipful places we know is Mt. Nebo State Park.

So it should come as no surprise that we chose to spend our Good Friday afternoon traipsing around the trails 

and soaking up God's incredible creation that is bursting out in Spring right now.

Benjamin and his girlfriend didn't have classes on Good Friday, so they drove and met us on top of the mountain.

Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered;

The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered.

For our atonement, while we nothing heeded,

God interceded.

For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation,

Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation;

Thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion,

for my salvation.

Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee,

I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee,

Think on Thy pity, and Thy love unswerving,

not my deserving.

from "Ah, Holy Jesus"
