The Crucifixion

The crucifixion, a brutal form of execution, becomes a powerful testament to Jesus' love for humanity. Simon of Cyrene helps carry the cross, illustrating how we can bear one another's burdens. On the cross, amidst suffering, Jesus offers salvation to a repentant thief, promising him a place in paradise. This act of grace emphasizes the profound forgiveness available through Christ's sacrifice even at that last moment. Today, let us focus on the price Jesus paid for our salvation, acknowledging the depth of His suffering and love.

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for enduring the cross for our sake. Fill our hearts with gratitude and lead us to live in a way that honors Your sacrifice.
