March Madness usually applies to basketball tournaments. But my mind travels in a completely different path during "March Madness"… It's the madness of SIN, which leads me down the path we call LENT.
This coming Wednesday, March 21, our class sings for the 3:15 Lenten service. The song is simply called, The Purple Robe. It's just two verses. But what powerful verses! In a few simple words, the song tells of our Savior's path to the cross. I'm really happy that Jesus came to Earth to save mankind from the wickedness of sin; but, I'm even more ecstatic that Jesus came to save me!
God Bless you this Lenten season.
A purple robe, a crown of thorn, a reed in his right hand;
before the soldiers' spite and scorn I see my Savior stand.
He bears between the Roman guard the weight of all our woe;
a stumbling figure bowed and scarred I see my Savior go.
He hangs, by whom the world was made, beneath the darkened sky;
the everlasting ransom paid, I see my Savior die.
He shares on high his Father's throne, who once in mercy came;
for all his love to sinners shown I sing my Savior's Name.
