Good morning Lord Jesus, this morning I focus on you so I have a chance to live out a day less focused on me.
“Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged severely. The soldiers braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they clothed him in a purple robe. They came up to him again and again and said, “Hail, king of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly in the face.
Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation against him.” So Jesus came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Look, here is the man!” When the chief priests and their officers saw him, they shouted out, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” (John 19:1-16)
This morning I read The Gospel of John chapter 19. And then I watched and listened to one of my favorite Theologian of today NY Wright’s Lenten devotion taken from this same chapter, John 19.. It was wonderful. So instead of sharing a reflection of mine I am sharing his reflection for you to watch, listen and reflect on. Here is the link to the short, 6 minute Youtube video of his reflection, in Jesus name.
Let us join together and cover in love through prayer the victims and those affected in the school shootings in Nashville and the 2 police officers shot, one fatally, in Huntsville yesterday. Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.
