Today is Friday of Holy Week – Good Friday. This is the day we remember the cross. It began with a mock trial that ended with an angry mob yelling, “Crucify.” It then moved to beating and humiliation and then ultimately to the cross where Jesus was brutally murdered. All of this for my sin and for yours.
Walk carefully through this day. Think about the sacrifice. Follow Jesus up the Via De La Rosa to the hill of the skull. Listen as the hammer bounces off the spikes. Watch as Jesus is hoisted up into the air and left there to die.
This is what he endured for you and for me.
Stand at the foot of that cross today and let the sights and sounds wash over you. Don’t turn away – face the reality.
