As Christians, many of us are almost too familiar with the story of Jesus’ death, Tom Wright says we need to find a way to make it strange to us again so that we can hear it once more as if it were new. The journey has reached its peak, we’ve made it to Jerusalem, just outside the walls, to the hill on which Jesus was mocked, beaten and crucified. There is so much for us to see here. From the darkness covering the land, to the anguished cry of Jesus, from the mocking voices of the crowd, to the final breath, from the tearing of the curtain, to the centurions testimony, to the women who stayed. Sunday is coming, but for now it is Friday and we sit in the shadow of the cross, beholding our Saviour who bore the weight of our sin, who gave himself freely for us. Our journey is not over, in many ways it’s just beginning, but this moment at Good Friday is a sobering and sombre moment of pause and reflection.
