Easter Pin Up? | The Crucifixion | The Skull
It was a Friday that they crucified Jesus.
It was a Friday that Jesus died.
They nailed him to pieces of wood.
It was a long and painful way to die.
They crucified him for claiming to be the Son of God.
They crucified him as an enemy of the state.
They crucified him because he was a threat to the status quo.
We look at the account of Jesus’ trial and then death
and we say that this was a failure of justice,
but Christians have come to see that in the death of Jesus,
we see God’s perfect justice displayed.
The cross of Jesus is paradoxically not a sign of weakness or foolishness, but power and wisdom.
