The “alleylon” (one another) passages in the New Testament, Part 2b:
Phil. 2:3 – In humility esteem one another as surpassing yourselves.
Today – Friday March 30 – the great majority of Christians in the world reflect on the events of the first of the three most important days in history, the three days encompassing Jesus’ victory over sin, death, and Satan, by which we are freed from the plague of our rebellion against God and welcomed into friendship with him. It’s the time of year when I can immerse myself, as often as I please, in the overwhelmingly sublime music of Bach’s Matthew Passion, and in the spare but ever-expanding biblical narrative of Jesus’ sacrifice, marveling at the depth of God’s love for us.
