A reflection for Good Friday
Written by Rev. Kirsten

Darkness is looming
The clouds grow ever near
As the One who is unblemished
Is dragged to the hill
Picking up his cross
Rough and heavy
Splintering against bare skin
Splintering into open wounds
With every weary step.
Onlookers watch from the crowd
Some in fear
Some in sorrow
Some simply curious
As the King of the Jews
Is led away to the hill.
Stumbling he falls
Weak and worn he is
Simon steps in to help
The load is just too great
His loved ones watch
Agony in their hearts
Love so strong
They can not look away.
The weight grows heavier still
Each step slower
Each step more painful
Stripped and humiliated
As the crowds become restless
The cross is taken from him
And lined up for final blows
The sound sounds in thr valley
Of the nails piercing
Flesh, bone, and wood…
Each hammer swing falls
Eith agut wrenching thud
And yet...
Still he offers comfort
Still he offers family
Still he offers grace
Still he offers hope
The final cry in anguish
Trusting in his Fathers will
A plan long set just for him
Darkness looms ever closer
Giving up his final breath
This life an offering of love
Until the very end...
