They took
Jesus to Calvary and crucified him there. It looked a brutal act, but what
splendor was shining through it! The cross ever stands as a symbol of power in
weakness. The thirst of Christ on the Cross is only a mirror of the depths of
his prayer and longing.
Almighty God, Graciously behold
this Your family for whom our Lord Jesus was willing to be betrayed and
delivered into the hands of sinful men to suffer death upon the cross; through
the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and
the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. [2]
