If I were present at the Creator’s crucifixion what would I do? Would I be part of the crowd yelling, “Crucify Him, and crucify Him”? Would I be like Peter and pretend that I don’t know Him? Would I be like the Virgin Mary, supporting Him with unwavering faith at the foot of the Cross?
With shame I admit that I would be like Peter and a crucifier. For every day I hurt Christ: Every day I ignore His presence in me and in others. Every day I pretend that He can’t see me. Every day I knowingly sin. Yet every day, He welcomes me with open arms saying, “son come home I love you”.
Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner.
