Passion is a very interesting word. We do things everyday that play into our passions, but do we have one all encompassing passion that leads us to do everything else that we do?
I guess we first need to know what passion is. The Passion of the Christ is a movie about the crucifixion of Christ from Mel Gipsons directing. Is this what passion is? Merriam-Webster online has 5 definitions, one being the Passion of Christ, and #4 is emotion and #5 is ardent love.
I think these are the ones I am looking for. What is your passion, the thing that drives you emotionally, and the one thing you would do anything for because of love?
The gospel lesson for this coming Sunday is John 12:1-8. It made me think of 2 songs My Passion by Sammy Ward and Mary’s Alibaster Jar by Solomon’s Wish.
Passion is that thing that drives us to do the things we do. Why did Mary wash Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume? Why do you do the things you do? Is your addoration of Jesus what it should be?
My Passion – Sammy Ward
When I stray from my destiny,
You put me back on course,
My struggle is not to better my life,
It’s uniting with it’s source
I want you to be my passion
And not myself
For I have found that seeking you
Is greater than all wealth
I want you to be my passion
Deeper than the sea, yeah, yeah
And wider than the heavens
Like your love is for me
The disobedience I have in me
Has dimmed my life today
Lord let your light shine through me
So the darkness will run away
I want you to be my passion
Deeper than the sea, yeah, yeah
And wider than the heavens
Like your love is for me
I want you to be my passion
And not myself
For I would rather die with you
Than to live in sinner’s health
I want you to be my passion
Deeper than the sea, yeah, yeah
And wider than the heavens
Like your love is for me
