The Crucifixion

It is finished. Jesus, finally reaches His destination, His work is complete, He is humiliated, mortified, beaten, broken, and now is on display for all passers by to see. The Lord of the universe, who came into the world and glorified the dust by entering into human nature, is hung on the cross and breathes His last. The Deicide is completed, and our hands are red with His blood.

When Jesus died on the cross the sun refused to shine and the veil in the temple was torn. By His perfect act of Love God's relationship with us changes and with it the entire universe.

Lord, You suffered and died for us, it is our sin that is the weight of the cross, yet You embrace us and carry us with You. Only in You is our salvation complete. Help us to enter into Your Passion and Death, that we made be made new in You, my Lord, and my God.
We were at the foot of the cross, and looking up at You, with flowing tears, we exclaim, "Why Lord? You needn't do this for me" and You look down from Your cross and say, "Yes, I do. Don't you see now, how much I Love you. Fear not for 'It is finished'".

God Love You, I know He does, for He has proved it beyond all doubt.
