Grace Cathedral - San Francisco, CA
Sometimes you have to look at something long enough...to actually see something.
So, when do things register with us? Why then and not at other times? Often the explanation for this is tied to our present, and sometimes historical, experience.
This year, on Good Friday, I am mindful of the experience of betrayal. I feel, in a personal way right now, a small portion of what Jesus must have felt from society, religion, and...friends.
This sermon on betrayal has been particularly poignant for me of late.
So, my prayer today is:
"Lord, help me grow in the spirit of Jesus who, even in the face of betrayal, asked God to forgive those who were hurting him."Was it because of this, that Jesus was able to receive death by 'committing his spirit' to God?
