It was sad to see so many people in Peru following the catholic rituals during the Resurrection Day remembrance. I witnessed many waiting in line and paying money to receive a cotton swab that was rubbed on the statue of Jesus or to have their flower arrangements touch the statue to receive extra blessings for their homes. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to walk and talk with God without having to earn it.
There was a lamb, called Mateo, being raised in the ministry here in Peru. Our children enjoyed the time playing and feeding Mateo these last few months. They slaughtered Mateo, the lamb not my son, in order to have a feast for the orphans at this ministry. The kitchen workers will find a way to use as much of the lamb for food, including putting the head in a soup. Even though the food will be enjoyed by many here at the ministry, it doesn't last too long.
The Lamb of God was slain to offer eternal life to whosoever believes that Jesus is the Son of God and ask Him to forgive them of their sins.
