As we draw nearer and nearer to the sufferings of Jesus, and as we look more intently at His sufferings, we come to His feet today. We do not go by the Cross. We are abiding, waiting, and letting it speak. This was written long before the nails were driven in: They have pierced my hands and my feet. (Psalm 22:16) Almost a thousand years before the Cross, the agony of Christ had been perceived, already uttered. There was nothing that was not intentional regarding His Passion.

We are in the Lenten season, and one thing about Lent is that it invites you and me to check our inner life and come back to Jesus. Today we will reflect on the heart of this season and why we should carry the same enthusiasm in our spiritual life throughout the year. "...Jesus said, 'I am thirsty' (John 19:28). Jesus' thirst signified His humanity. He was fully God but was also fully man with flesh and blood. He was flogged and slapped, and then He carried the heavy Cross. T
