They say laughter is the best medicine. And that goes for the soul and the spirit as much as for the body. And some of the best humour is in the Bible. In fact, our gospel today is one big joke. The best joke ever told actually. And on this Sunday that we celebrate as “Holy Hilarity” we’re all invited to laugh along. Who ever said God doesn’t have sense of humour!

The story of Easter continues as the risen Jesus appears to his disciples. His words to Thomas offer a blessing to all who entrust themselves in faith to the risen Lord.

It’s the story that never gets old. The story we never tire of hearing. The story of our Lord’s resurrection. But which story do we hear in our head most often? Because we have four of them. And the one we read today is perhaps the strangest and most unsettling. And yet, perhaps it’s the one we most need to hear. Come and see…

We welcome Holy Week today with a service that brings together the “high” of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem with the “low” of his Passion. Or is that the “low” of his entry and the “high” of his Passion? Things get a little dark and confusing as we join the story of Jesus’s last week. And still the light shines!

For us here in the Lower Mainland, this weekend has been ideal gardening weather… to say the least! That’s a past-time that brings many of us joy. Our gospel today speaks of gardening too. But in a way that maybe gets us thinking a little deeper.

How often we say that God moves in mysterious ways. Our first reading today is a vivid testament to that truth. This story of snakes and poles and healing. But maybe it also says something very un-mysterious about the gift of God’s healing. About the healing we seek. And the healing we need.

Maybe we can understand Jesus getting frustrated and angry at times (those disciples!). But losing it in the temple? Of all places! Or maybe thats exactly the place for Christ’s wrath to be unleashed. Could we also use a wake up call (even a rude one) to get us re-thinking the use of our temples?

Remember playing “Follow the Leader” as a kid? Remember how much more fun it was to lead rather than follow? Who knew that would mess up our understanding of what it means to be a disciple! So maybe these words of Jesus are just his way of putting us in our place. Our rightful place. That we might glimpse the life God desires for us all. Come along as we join the disciples for another Lenten life lesson.

Its Lent again. And we’re back in the wilderness with Jesus. Maybe that doesn’t sound so scary. Until we reflect on what this 40 day journey will ask us to put at risk and leave behind. At that point maybe its not just wild beasts we need to be concerned about. Let us cross the threshold and begin our sojourn.
