The image above is from The Gospel of Matthew and offers the events of Jesus’ last day.

Use the image below to focus in on Jesus’ last breath. What might have been going through his mind? What might have been going through his disciples’ minds as they watched him slump on the cross?

The words “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me” are the opening words of Psalm 22. Take a moment and meditate on Psalm 22:1-31 in its entirety. How might it change, or not change, what Jesus may have been feeling if he was actually repeating this entire Psalm while he was dying?

May you allow the depth of this day of rememberance root deeply into your spirit today and do whatever work in you that it needs to do.
