By the Way, It's Holy Week

          Yes, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments regarding same-sex marriage. Yes, it’s an historic occasion, no matter the outcome (in June). Yes, as many pastors and bloggers have already been doing, I may have to address it. (This is, in part, a blog on theology and culture, after all!). 

          But not this week. Why? Because, in 4 days, we celebrate the greatest day in history. It’s Holy Week. 

          I understand if things need to be said with biblical wisdom, Truth and love, but let’s not let countless kitschy cliches on Facebook and other currents of culture distract us from our celebration of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, and our strive to be like Him. Let’s strive to “have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

“Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

    rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.

    And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!”
