Things weren’t going to end well.
Even after doing so much good, sharing so much love, and bringing so much hope, Jesus kept telling his friends that his enemies would get the best of him. And then, in the final moments of his life - With his body taken and broken by violence - Jesus seemed to pause as death approached.
He turned his face to heaven, and taught his friends a prayer for broken hearts. Simply asking, “Why?”
Which is the question we bring with us to the end of Holy Week.
Carried from all the places of our sorrow - our loss - and our helplessness.
Here we ask our whys, and remember that God spared nothing to make all things new. That Jesus gave himself
over to death to lead us into life. That in his final words Jesus revealed how God knows the language of our doubt and fear. Showing us the road to resurrection, dark as it may be. And we that we don’t have to walk it alone.
