It’s starting to get messy. Jesus’ execution has never been a tidy thing, but now, as he again speaks from the cross, his words tell of human suffering that will soon end in death. Jesus suffered as a man, as a human. When he said, “I thirst,” he did so in our place. Jesus’ death ensures that the messes that we create are cleaned up, fixed up. Fifth Sunday of Lent, March 25, 10:00 a.m.
