April 3, 2026. Good Friday. Archaeologists discovered the heelbone of a crucified man with the nail still in it. It is displayed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. I’m sitting with this image today as I read the crucifixion passages in my Bible. Thinking of how Jesus had seen crucifixions throughout his lifetime. Thinking about how he knew it was coming. And deeply sitting in the mystery of such self-emptying love that Jesus went through with it for me. For you. For the world. I am not rushing to resurrection Sunday. I’m sitting right here. I want this Good Friday and the remembering of Jesus in his crucifixion to have its way with me.
