Good Friday
John 18:1-19:42
April 2, 2010
What is this cross that bears the body of our Lord,
a body bloodied, beaten, bruised, and broken?
What is this cross that carries within it such terror –
torture, death, and destruction?
This cross is a meeting ground,
a place of encounter,
an intimate intersection of the human and the divine.
It is here at this cross where we see God most clearly,
and indeed, where we see ourselves most honestly, as well.
The cross is a window to our God, and a mirror to ourselves.
