“Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?”

Were you there when they crucified my Lord? You and I may not have been at Calvary on that dreadful day when Jesus was spat upon, beaten, made to wear a crown of thorns, or forced to drink vinegar when he asked for water; He was condemned to die, for no reason other than His love for us. But how do we repay him? We crucify Him all over again every time we sin, by thought, word, or deed. We continue to nail Him to the cross over and over again. But, how long Lord, will you allow us to continue on in this rebellious way? This Lenten Season is about penitence, forgiveness, repentance, and alms-giving. Jesus is giving us yet another opportunity to repent and accept the gift of salvation He has promised to us; and if we turn from our rebellious ways, if we confess our sins, He is faithful, and just, and will forgive us for all unrighteousness.
