Here’s a link to one of my favorite Beatles songs of all time: “Come Together”www.tinyurl.com/4lcezo22  

I think this song is entirely appropriate for today. Allow me to explain:

Good Friday invites us to reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice for our sake. On his way to the cross Jesus endured some of life’s most difficult moments. He was betrayed by a close friend, he was abandoned by his other friends, he was unjustly sentenced, he was humiliated, and tortured. And yet, Jesus never protested; he knew that his journey to the cross was for a higher purpose. 

That first Good Friday, between two criminals, Jesus stretched out his hands and gathered onto himself all of life’s pain and all the tough moments in our human existence were brought together in God’s love. It’s as if Jesus was saying, “Come Together, right now, over me”. 

Verse for Meditation: Colossians 3:14

Action: Today, take some quiet time to reflect on Jesus’ crucifixion and what it means for you. What tough moment or struggles from your life do you need Jesus to bring into God’s love?
