Standing at the foot of Golgotha 40 years ago, I experienced a holy feeling that made Jesus's sacrifice tangible despite being in a modern bus parking lot. Jesus positioned himself at the center—between two criminals, between heaven and hell, between judgment and mercy—showing his role as the bridge between God and humanity.

• Jesus declared as King in three languages on the sign above his cross
• Possible acronym in Hebrew that spelled YHWH (God)
• Women and John able to stand near the cross while other disciples had to flee
• Jesus, despite his suffering, provided for his mother by entrusting her to John
• Mary and John later lived together in Ephesus where they served the church
• Jesus sees us in our darkest moments just as he saw his mother at the cross
• When we feel unseen, we can remember Jesus's deeply compassionate character

Take a moment to ponder: Where do you feel unseen right now? Invite the Holy Spirit to show you where Jesus is waiting to meet you with his compassionate gaze.
