Subject: Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? |
Bible Note: Ok, I get it. Interesting stuff; thanks. Still no mention of Maundy Wednesday or Good Thursday services in the Bible, though. So I still think that remembering the events of that night and the next day, acknowledging our own responsibility for them, and expressing our gratitude for Jesus' sacrifice - even if we have the days wrong and we've not been explicitly told to do it - pleases God. Likewise, exalting Jesus' name and calling the world's attention to him - whatever verb we choose to describe the practice - is probably pleasing as well. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
