March 29 – Good Friday
Read: Matthew 27:32-54 and Psalm 22
Twas I that shed the sacred blood, I nailed him to the tree.
I crucified the Christ of God; I joined the mockery.
Around yon cross, the throng I see, mocking the sufferer’s groan;
and in that din of voices rude, I recognise my own.
And of that shouting multitude, I feel that I am one;
yet still my voice it seems to be, as if I mocked alone.
Horatius Bonar
Reflection:
Consider how it was your sin that held Jesus in place upon the cross.
Consider how Jesus quoting Psalm 22 is a cry of victory in its fulfilment.
*Join us for Good Friday service at 4:30PM. A light dinner will be served afterwards as we break our 24 hour fast together.
