Meditation
Wounds of Jesus BY REV ANGELA C BOSFIELD PALACIOUS
D
URING thwe crucifixion, there are several wounds that our Lord received: Two in hands/wrists, two in his feet, his side from the spear, the whipping and the crown of thorns. This is the price that Jesus paid for our salvation. How grateful are we? How grateful am I? Why did Jesus have to die like this? Many have asked this question over the centuries. This is the plan of salvation. This is the price that Love was willing to pay for us. HOLINESS In gratitude, we seek to give our lives back to God and become holy. The way to become holy is: To follow Jesus as your Lord, having accepted him as your Saviour. To read, study and emulate the instructions given in Holy Scripture. To allow God to heal you. To allow the Holy Spirit to take control of your life. To forgive and be forgiven. To pray and enjoy the permanent presence of God. FORGIVENESS God offers us forgiveness but we have to accept it. I John 1:8 tells us that if we confess ours sins we will be forgiven but if we pretend that we are already righteous we make God out to be a liar. John 3:16-17 reveals that God’s plan of love was to give Jesus to save the world. Jesus has come first as Saviour and then will come as Judge. In Matthew 6:14-16, we are challenged to forgive others so that we may receive God’s forgiveness. In order to be forgiven we may use the following steps: 1. Confession using passages such as the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), 1 Corinthians 13, and Colossians 3. 2. Meditation on the cross as your penalty paid and the need to accept the free gift of grace. Study of passages that speak of God’s plan of redemption (Gospel of John 3:16-17, letters of John, Roman).
To forgive others we can pray, use imaginative meditation (speaking to the person in the presence of Jesus) and/or pastoral counselling. SUFFERING Jesus suffered and his suffering was a part of God’s plan. Suffering is the result of the Enemy seeking to destroy truth, beauty and goodness. Why do we suffer is an age old question: 1. We suffer because of our own sins. 2. We suffer because of the sins of others 3. We suffer when Satan attacks us because we are serving the Lord. Situations that may cause suffering are found everywhere: Incest, family violence, crime, injustice, war, human trafficking, poverty and illness. We are called to alleviate suffering as much as we can. None of us want to suffer, but we may accept that it is the consequence of speaking truth to power as Jesus did. God has created the world to be a place of harmony, beauty, love and worship. How do you respond to life? In the Eucharist we see how Our Lord has given us a memorial of His passion (His suffering) to cleanse and strengthen us. Know that our Suffering God feels our pain, understands what it is to be betrayed, and weeps with us as He did with Mary and Martha, with the widow of Nain and as he wept over Jerusalem. If we allow God to use our suffering, we can be changed for the better. Do not allow your suffering to be in vain. Ask God to heal you, bless you and use you to God’s honour and glory. During Lent, we share in Christ’s suffering by using the Stations of the Cross on the walls of the church or on the church grounds to walk the Via Dolorosa (road of suffering) with our Lord. We recall the painful incidents along the path to Calvary. On Good Friday, some churches include the Veneration of the Cross (kissing the cross) during the litany for the day. As we seek to be forgiven, to become holy, to make sense of suffering, let us pray for persons to live with courage, cope better and grow in grace. May the wounds of Jesus cause us to be more sensitive to the wounds of others and to respond with love. • Rev Angela Palacious, a motivational speaker and author of several devotional books, is an Anglican priest.

The event was hosted last Wednesday night at the Mount Ararat Baptist Church on Washington Street. Bishop Gloria Ferguson is the pastor. A cadre of young and veteran senior pastors from their respective churches delivered their extortion to an audience of both men and women. Rev Clinton Minnis, the newest ordained senior pastor, now at Providence Baptist Church, kicked off the event with his dissertation on “Father, Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do”. He was followed by the Rev Tyrone Laing, who was recently elected as the new pastor of the New Bethlehem Baptist Church. His topic was “Today, You Will Be With Me In Paradise”. The other speakers in order of presentations were: Bishop Stanley Ferguson of the New Free Community Holiness Baptist Church
on “Woman, Behold Thy Son, Behold Thy Mother”; Pastor Jeffrey Deleveaux of Glad Tidings Baptist Church on “My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me”; Rev Dr Hartman Nixon of Macedonia Baptist Church on “I Thirst”; Rev Arthur Charlton of Mount Vernon Baptist Church on “It Is Finished”, and Rev Daniel Nottage from Fellowship Baptist Church on “Father, Into Thy Hands, I Commend My Spirit.” Rev Leroy Major of Pilgrim Baptist Temple put a cap on the messages with his topic: “Was It All In Vain.” Bahama National Baptist Men’s president, Rev Stephen Ferguson, thanked all of the speakers for their well-received presentations and the committee, led by assistant director and moderator Rev Samuel Lightbourn of Pentecostal Baptist Church and Deacon Doyle Bethel of Mount Ararat, for making the night a success. Remarks also came from Bishop Gloria Ferguson, who encouraged the men to continue the work they have started, and Rev Dr Philip McPhee, the first Vice president of the Bahamas National Baptist missionary and Educational Convention. Dr McPhee, who is also the senior
pastors must also ensure that they have capable men who can step in and assist them in carrying out the duties of the church.

Some of the main things that got me through was prioritising my experiences and emotions; understanding what was held onto for far too long, and systematically dealing with the issues as a matter of priority. (With professional help, in some cases) One confession I will make is that I was thoroughly guilty of turning mementos into monuments. What do I mean by this? A memento is meant to be a small keepsake of a place visited, an activity participated in or some other memorable occurrence in your life. Good or bad, there will always be vestiges of an experience left behind. Unfortunately, and especially when we are confronted with disappointment or hurt of any kind, we tend to magnify the experience until it becomes a monument, an all-encompassing roadblock that hinders our growth in a particular area, affecting who we are and what we are all about. Experience becomes an exercise in endurance until what has happened colours our levity, our life, and our language. I know of persons who, like me, built up monuments to trauma in the family, in
marriages and relationships, business or church connections. The list, for some, is endless. For this, I have the following of advice: If we recognise, rank and reconcile much of this unnecessary junk, we can shrink many of the monuments we are holding onto back into mementos, which have a far less significant grasp on our personal growth. In other words, freeing ourselves from the weight of unnecessary junk can liberate us to move ahead in our lives, giving us the emotional quotient to deal with the really important stuff. We want to learn the lesson from the trauma and move onto true progress. How do we know we haven’t moved on? We talk about the junk as a victim. We invest emotion in the junk, displaying bitterness and anger. We base decisions upon the junk, hoping for vindication or affirmation I applaud those of you who have only necessary junk to deal with. But some of us must honestly admit we’ve held onto some things for far too long and we really have to strategically name and deal with a monument that should be a memento, before we take any steps toward our destined place. God bless you this week!
