We hear a great deal these days about logistics. This is the logical sequencing and organization needed to implement a plan. For many years it was a military term but now we hear a great deal about logistics as it relates to business effectiveness and efficiency.
There are many logistical requirements in order to celebrate Easter here at Grace Avenue. It takes careful planning by our staff and an army of volunteers in our church to pull it off. It takes careful and coordinated communication, timing, and effort. I am so grateful to everyone who works so hard, both in advance and on the actual day, to make Easter a truly spiritual experience. And as with most things that are logistically successful, the vast majority of those who attend on Easter we hardly notice all the work that is going on behind the scenes.
We may be challenged to ask; "Is all this effort really necessary? Do we really need all these different services, at all these different times?" Look at it from this perspective; Christ's resurrection is the most important news the world has ever received, and we are given the privilege of sharing that news.
God's greatest statement of love is more than worthy of our greatest logistical efforts. I can't wait to proclaim the Good News of Christ's Resurrection.
How about you?
