FRIDAY: THE TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION
Read: Matthew 27:45-54
Reflect
Imagine for a moment that you’re at Jesus’ crucifixion. You see Jesus on the cross alongside two criminals who are also being crucified that day. You can hear the Roman soldiers hurling insults at Jesus. Some of the people around you are crying, some are laughing and insulting Jesus. What’s going through your mind as you watch all of this unfold in front of you?
Friday of Holy Week is known as “Good Friday.” That’s kind of a strange name because, on the surface, there’s nothing good about it. We call this Good Friday because this was the day that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us. This was the day that Jesus endured the cross because He knew that His pain meant our freedom. He went to the cross with you on His mind.
Reflect on this thought today: Jesus was thinking about me on the cross.
Respond
How does it make you feel knowing that Jesus was thinking about you on the cross? Tell Jesus.
What do you need today? What are you grateful for today? Is there anything you need to get off your chest? Tell Jesus about it.
