Yep, it’s getting harder and harder to come up with any enthusiasm for things happening in dc, most the time when we think it’s in our favor it’s not.
how are you doing lately? going to PT?
Yes, still going to PT. Have more problems with my shoulder than neck. But it’s better most days.
How are you doing?
Crucifixion was not unique in the first century. It was the Roman method of Capital Punishment.
Crucifixion of innocent people was also not unique.
What is unique for we as Christians - this particular crucifixion that we remember on Good Friday was promised and necessary for the silver thread of prophecy to be fulfilled and for we as Christians to have the ultimate/final sacrifice.
There is a lot of theology and underlying symbolism in this act but the bottom line is that “it is finished” was a profound statement that we can only grasp loosely to understand.
Reflect my Christian friends.
Others may pick apart and mock your faith but we can be strong in our convictions and practices. People of God will never lose the war, perhaps the battle on occasion but the outcome is set in stone and sealed with blood.
Pix of my friend Chris(RIP) who was Jesus in the NE Ohio Compassion Passion plays. He was one of the writers. My friend Becky co-wrote and was Mary. Becky is a talented musician and vocalist,I surely have missed it since the group ended productions. (Cotton to post pix I took )
