They Came to Jesus

Scripture Reading [Jn. 19:33-34]
"When they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. One of the soldiers pierced His side with a lance, and immediately blood and water flowed out."

Prayer

Lord, it is only because of the foolishness of Your cross that life makes sense. You abandoned Your own life to teach me what really matters. How I strive after foolish things and use people rather than love people. You died the shameful death on the cross to teach us the joyful lesson in life. Today, Lord, give me the courage to love what is important and to forsake all that is self-serving and deceitful.
