The meditation that follows is in audio form. It is an attempt to imagine something of what it might have been like to be present at the scene of our Lord’s Crucifixion. While it is far beyond the scope of the present attempt to capture the historical milieu and the ideologies of that day, many of that scene’s unfoldments reveal striking similarities of our humanity still. But, more so, the promise of God’s Love and Redemption stand revealed.
Suggested Reading: Mark 16: 21 – 47
Text: Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”
