At 3:00 PM—the ninth hour—we remember the moment the world went quiet.

Good Friday isn’t a symbol. It isn’t a metaphor. It’s the cost.

And Psalm 22 isn’t just “poetic language” from a distant past. It reads like a witness statement.

Centuries before Rome would turn crucifixion into a public spectacle, long before anyone could have imagined a Messiah executed with nails, the psalm gives a line that lands with unsettling precision:

“They pierced my hands…”

Prophecy, fulfilled in a way no one could have reasonably foreseen when it was written.

So today we don’t rush the story.

We don’t skip ahead to the brightness.

We keep vigil at the Cross—somber, subdued, and grateful in a way that hurts.

BETWEEN THE NAILS AND THE DAWN
