“People who passed by said terrible things about Jesus. They shook their heads and shouted, “So you’re the one who claimed you could tear down the temple and build it again in three days! If you are God’s Son, save yourself and come down from the cross!”

“Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross, so that everyone might come within the reach of you saving embrace. So, clothe us with your Spirit that we reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you, to the knowledge and love of you.”
