The Line

“Two points determine a straight line,” we say. That image serves us today in this communal remembrance.

The event we remember here sets the direction for conducting life from here on. What values we remember from Christ’s life and death, we carry forward in our own living. The purpose he gave his life for and we identified with in baptism, we pledge to follow through on from this day forward. Today we chart our course on the difficult, narrow way. For him the straight and narrow road led to Golgotha.
