Now that Holy Week is over, what happens next?
The Philippines is one of the few countries in the world that celebrates Holy Week with so much hype. Processions, visita iglesias, pilgrimages, even reenactment of the crucifixion are done year after after by people who want to show their gratitude to Jesus for what he has done for us on the cross. But what happens to these people after all the "sacrifices"? In Psalms, we see that God is not after our sacrifices. What he wants is obedience, a life that is totally in sync with his plans.
No amount of sacrifice can bring us to heaven. Only by putting our faith in Jesus and receiving His act of sacrifice can we have eternal life. And he does not want us to repay him. All he wants is a life that is in total obedience to him.
