May We Never Lose The Wonder

The truly blessed are those that can see the miraculous in what others see as mundane. Even more so are those that never lose the wonder of the awesome impact of the sacred. It is part of our nature to allow the most wonderful things in our lives to seem commonplace at times - to take tremendous blessings for granted. King David's prayer, "Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me." (Psalm 51:12) speaks to us in the times and seasons of our own lives.This musical is about the importance of remembering. On the eve of His trial and execution Jesus made it clear that we were to remember Him and His sacrifice. He instituted the sacrament of the Last Supper to be a central part of the Christian faith - a time to gather as His Body and remember.We cannot stand in the distance and casually observe the sacrifice of the Cross. We cannot pretend it did not happen - that it is less than it is proclaimed to be - that it does not touch us or our lives. The Cross is not something that we get used to - not something that we can get comfortable with - not something that we can ever take lightly.Jesus Christ, the Son of God, by His own choice died nailed to a Cross for the sins that you and I committed. May we never forget His sacrifice, may we never fail to fall to our knees in thanksgiving for that kind of love, may we never lose the wonder - the wonder of the Cross.
