The Cross

On Good Friday, poetic justice is satisfied. Poetic mercy is all which remains.

Simon carried the cross, but Jesus was carried by the cross to death.

Out there the instincts to protect yourself from embarrassment, ridicule, and rejection can easily overcome you as they did Peter. Our only hope is in Peter’s Lord.

What grace is this? It’s grace from Christ, who often seizes us when we least expect it, even through the hands of His enemies.
