Episode 164: Stations of the Cross, Part 5--Parting Words

As the Gospel writers tell it, Jesus dies loving others, just as surely as he lived and taught that same love.  As pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve continue to make their way through the Stations of the Cross, they now turn to events that happen once Jesus has physically been crucified, and how even these moments show remarkable mercy and grace.  After being mocked by soldiers, crowds, religious leaders, and even the criminals being put to death beside him, Jesus extends mercy to a criminal at his side.  And in his dying breaths, when he is in extreme pain, Jesus then turns his attention to his mother to make sure she is cared for, too, after he has died.  Jesus spends his life completely oriented outward for others and for God, just as he had taught people in all of his public ministry, too.  As we approach Holy Week next week, join us for this episode of Crazy Faith Talk to explore these powerful moments from the cross, as we reflect on the ways we have been loved by this same Christ.
