Preparing for what? 11 Mar 12

Preparing for what?
Lent is catching on in all kind of churches these days. Of course what that means varies quite a lot. The common theme, I suppose, is getting ready for the celebration of the death of Jesus.
Celebrating Jesus’ death seems a bit strange. Death is usually something to be mourned. But Jesus’ death is a grief-removing death. It is the Great Humanity Death. It is the means by which humans can escape sin and judgment. It is the death that frees them from everlasting death.
So it is an event to be celebrated. It is what we do every time we celebrate the Lord’s Supper. As Paul said, “... whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Cor 11.26). Proclaiming his death may be a better way to say it.
If you wanted to proclaim the death of Jesus, I suppose Good Friday would be as good a day as any. On the other hand, every day would also be a good day. And if we wanted to get ready for such a proclamation, what would we need to do? What preparation would fit the bill?
