New events
"The past events have indeed happened. Now I declare new events; I announce them to you before they occur." Today is a day of turning. Holy Week is beginning; Lent is coming to a close. We look forward through this Week, this Week of Weeks in the Christian calendar -- Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and finally Easter. But today is just Monday, just the beginning, the day we turn towards it. We must remind ourselves of the who and the why of this week, especially at the beginning. Read the passage and contemplate those two questions: Who? Who is this servant? What are his characteristics? And why? Why is he coming? What will he change? What does this have to do with me and with the whole story of God? The past events have indeed taken place, but new ones are on the horizon.
