  • The Bridge- April 2020
    THE BRIDGE- APRIL 2020 Can you keep your cool when even Jesus couldn’t??? I wonder what the thing is that is on your mind: the Covid-19 outbreak (coronavirus), worry about whether you can afford to buy the groceries this week; where you will go on holiday; what you are going to have for tea? Some thoughts consume more of our time and are obviously more serious than others. How many of us have God on the brain? How many times do we think about God in an hour, a day, a week? As Christians is our attention focused on God or on something else? Jesus reminds us that we are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts and minds and strength and our neighbours as ourselves (St Matthew 22:37-40). And Holy week gives us an intense opportunity to focus our hearts and minds and strength on Jesus. Jesus’s last week contains a vast array of events: the fight with the Bankers in the Temple (St Matthew 21:12-13); the entry into Jerusalem and Jesus’s death and Resurrection. I am always heartened that our Lord lost his temper. I am sure you never lose your tempers but I have to confess that I do sometimes. What makes Jesus lose his cool is the injustice of using a place of prayer for profit. Go into most of our great ecclesiastical buildings and you will be charged unless you are just attending worship (except for Durham and Carlisle which still operate a donation entry policy).
