Red droplets on a branch … Red blood on a timber cross! How fickle is humankind that it goes from cheering the King on His triumphal entry through the Golden Gate of Jerusalem to mocking him a few days later, on the Via Dolorosa? Those who garden with God will know that the red flowers on the branch show the promise of life to come. New seeds, new growth, renewed vigour in the garden. Strange that the blood on the wooden cross promised the same result in our lives! In the garden; the fickleness of humanity is transformed into a reflection of the Passion of Christ. May the colours of Christ be in your garden as a reminder of His suffering, death and His resurrection. May the Grace of God burst forth in the realisation that Christ has risen as the Master Gardener intended it ….. Garden with God because Christ died so that our sins may be forgiven…. Let our gardens display His Glory.
