Lent Reflections Day 39: Crucify

Pastor Tiffany Hollums decided that each day during Lent, she would choose a word to prayerfully reflect upon. A volunteer suggested reading the lectionary texts and then choosing a word that stood out to her from those passages. Tiffany is sharing her Lenten reflections here and hopes to inspire our readers to join in her journey.

Readings:

• Isaiah 52:13-53:12

• Psalm 22

• Hebrews 10:16-25 or Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9

• John 18:1-19:42

Reflections:

Crucify him!

Crucify.

This word hurts.

But it is the end we all knew was coming.

Jesus, our Lord has been crucified.

Crucified.

And we are all guilty. Every single last one of us. Forgive us, Jesus.
