Devotions with Pastor Delinda Jeronimo

Ms. Holly had the kids make a resurrection garden a couple weeks ago. I cannot believe how fast the grass grew up and soon completely closed off the view of the cross and blocked the view of the tomb.

I can’t help but stop each time I look at it. It looks like a dish of grass. You can’t tell what it was actually meant to be. I don’t see a tomb, I don’t see a cross.

Hmmm….every time I look at it I want to cut the grass but at the same time I like the reminder that I can’t let things get in the way of the cross. I can’t let something cause me to forget about the tomb. I hope that they will always be central to how I live my life that I will always see the cross, always see the empty tomb and remember.

There’s a song that says:
I see the cross of my Redeemer
The tree of death on which He died
To save the world, the King of heaven
Gave up His throne, laid down His life
I see the face of my deliverer
There on the hill of Calvary
His crown of thorns, His broken body
The sacrifice He made for me
Hallelujah, I give You glory
King of my heart, Lord of my soul
Hallelujah, You conquered for me
My sins and death, forevermore
I see the grave of the Messiah
The open tomb where He has laid
Behold the Son of man has risen
The King of kings, ancient of days
Hallelujah, I give You glory
King of my heart, Lord of my soul
Hallelujah, You conquered for me
My sins and death, forevermore
​
What do you need to do to see the cross, to remember the tomb? What’s in the way? What have you allowed to grow in your heart that has kept the cross out of view?
