As you get ready to read today’s scripture, take a moment to pause and remember that Jesus is with you. Keep this awareness that he is near as you read the account of his crucifixion. Notice the details in these scenes and try to picture them in your mind as you read.
- What moment or interaction with Jesus stands out to you? Why?
- What questions do you have for Jesus about these moments of his life on earth?
- What do you notice about how people talk about and treat Jesus?
In his most vulnerable and painful moments—as he is dying—Jesus offers words of forgiveness and reassurance to others. With his final breath, he trusts God.
