Jesus Christ is risen today, hallelujah!

Our triumphant holy day, hallelujah!

Hymns of praise let us sing, hallelujah!

Unto Christ our heavenly King, hallelujah!

 

Easter Sunday! 

 

Whether at home or in the sanctuary, we will be joining our choir in singing joyous hymns praise. This is the day on which Christian faith begins. This is the day that sustains Christians all their days. This is the day that declares the promise to which all Christians look forward.

The movement of this scene is wonderful.  

 

Varghese was a Malaysian artist who often painted from her deep Christian faith. Like in this painting. Jesus is at the centre, but where is headed, to whom is he travelling? This is not just ‘the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem’ – I feel Varghese challenging me to consider ‘the entry of Jesus into my life’.

 

Palm Sunday. An hour for praise, pondering and prayer.

A rider passing by a monument erected on the spot from which the Acadians were deported in 1755. I find this painting by Alex Colville very moving.

 

After graduating with a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Mount Allison University, Colville enlisted in the infantry in 1942 and served in France and the Netherlands. Among his assignments, he was tasked with depicting the horrors of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Colville went on to become one of Canada’s great artists, a prominent member of the Maritime Realism school that countered the contemporary reign of abstract painting.

 

Colville paints this rider looking back over her shoulder, as if perhaps to suggest the way he yearns to come to terms with his own history, including the terror and tragedy of war. As do we all. 

 

What to make of the fact that it is a cross that was raised by the descendants of the Acadians, and painted by the artist? I invite you to explore this question with me in a sermon that focuses upon Hebrews 2.

So why is an eagle portrayed looking down over John as he records his account of the gospel of Jesus Christ? 

 

This month we are exploring the various gospel accounts of the New Testament – each attempting to describe the Risen Lord with a different perspective upon the earthly witness of Jesus, and each traditionally symbolized by a traditional image. This week – the Gospel according to John, and the eagle. 

 

It only takes just under two hours to read through the Gospel according to John, or to listen to it read by Julielee at https://www.standrewskingston.org/the-gospels-read-john/ What a wonderful experience! In the journey, I feel a particular intimacy and strength of the presence of the Living Lord. And maybe you might glean an idea about why the eagle, also!

 

The sanctuary doors are open for in-person worship (with physical distancing and wearing of masks), and we will be joining our cantors in singing the hymns. Live-streaming continues.
