Dear Lord
Good Friday, April 6,2007
Thank you for enduring the Crucifixion: The nailing, verbal attacks, bodily blows, the spearing, the thorns, being spat upon, the thirst, the humiliation, and the betrayal. I cannot begin to imagine Your pain and suffering, or what went through your mind, as you faced Your world from atop the hill. What a paradox, us creatures doing this to You, the Creator. You allowed this to happen: An act of love by You, for me, and for the whole world. A love that I do not deserve. I am one of your assailants. Forgive me Lord! My sins, past present and to come, assaulted you on the Cross. Forgive me Lord! If I had been present in the praetorium, would I have joined the crowd and yelled “Crucify Him!” We know the answer. I continue the persecution, knowingly and unknowingly. Yet Your love for me remains unchanging. Forgive me Lord! Praise be to you my patient Friend and Lord.
