Reflections on the Cross

This morning I received this in my email from Women Living Well
I'd like to share it with you!

Today we remember. 
(Taken from Matthew 27)
 We remember…
 the betrayal for 30 pieces of silver
the flogging
the crown of thorns
the purple robe
the sign “Hail, King of the Jews!”
the strike on Jesus’ face
the crowd shouting “Crucify Him!”


the long walk to Golgotha carrying the cross

the nails in his hands

the nails in his feet

DARKNESS

the words “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”

the temple curtain torn in two from top to bottom

the earth trembling


the guards exclaiming “Surely he was the Son of God!”

Life is in the blood –the precious blood of Jesus.
