Before Christ Crucified
W
hat is the agony of Christ for?
It is to let us know that even inour darkest,
loneliest and most painful hour,
we are never alone.
But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peacewas on him;
and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53, WEB
Many times, our hearts are so heavy that we can't even pray
for what we need. We just feel overwhelmed. We want rest but
we can't find it. We know we have many questions at the back of
our minds, but we can't even start naming
what these questions are.
Whenever we feel like this, may we find comfort before the
crucified Christ. Sometimes, we need no words in order to pray.
But we need to seek His Face and to lay down before Him our
many burdens and tears.
