bitter or sweet?

Have you ever eaten or drank something sweet, followed by something bitter?  I know i have. That is exactly what Jesus went through the week of passover.  At first he was praised as a hero...in the end he was condemned as a criminal.  


 It was good counsel one gave, “Never let go out of your minds the thoughts of a crucified Christ.” Let these be food and drink unto you; let them be your sweetness and consolation, your honey and your desire, your reading and your meditation, your life, death, and resurrection.
