Good Friday 2011

以Friday Morning Eucharist開始。

Palm Sunday

April 17 2011, Palm Sunday. April 17 2011, more than a month after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that shocked Japan and the whole world, the Japanese people were still suffering; the homeless were still homeless; and the air still smelled of fear of after shocks and radiation leaks from Fukushima.

These questions are ringing in my ears: Was Jesus' death only for my personal salvation? What is the meaning of Easter to humanity and the whole creation? The questions get so loud that my ears ache.

A 102-year-old Japanese man in Fukushima killed himself. His family believed the prospect of evacuation might be the cause. He couldn't bear leaving his home.

Did Easter have any meaning to him?

耶穌只為我的個人得救而受死嗎？

是日Palm Sunday。
