When we lived in Dallas, we had season passes to a local amusement park. It became our go-to on slow days; ride some rides, walk a ton, wear out two little boys, and a good-quality family time had by all.
If you’ve ever been on one of those rides, you’ve heard the operator on the mic explaining how to have a great experience…usually with all the enthusiasm of the adults in a Peanuts cartoon. It’s monotone, forgettable, easy to tune out. But here’s the thing, they’re actually telling you exactly how to have a great ride. We just miss it.
Holy Week is like that too.

Remember
There are two phrases that show up over and over again throughout Scripture. The first is “Do not fear.” Again and again, God reminds his people that with him, we do not have to live in fear. As it says in 1 John, perfect love casts out fear.
The second phrase is “Remember.”
The ancient Hebrew people were called to remember constantly. They built entire rhythms of life around it: holidays, altars, shared meals, songs, prayers, stones stacked beside rivers, so that they would never forget who God was, what God had done, and what it meant to live as the people of God.
And I actually think these two ideas belong together.
When we remember, we often find that we fear less.
But it depends on what we remember.

This Sunday we begin something new.
New things can be scary. Uncharted. Unknown.
In ancient maps, when cartographers illustrated what they knew, what had been discovered, they drew the land, the water, the topography, the geography.
But when they reached portions not yet explored, places unknown or seemingly dangerous, do you know what they would do?
They would draw lions and write in Latin:
Hic Sunt Leones.
Here be lions.
