April 7, 2023 — Good Friday Worship & Communion

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the difficulty of envisioning ourselves in the historical events of Christ's suffering, particularly the brutality of the crucifixion. It notes that darkness and silence, both present during these events and in the current setting, aid in contemplation. The practical takeaway is to focus intensely on the cross, imagining Jesus' innocent suffering for our sins, and reflecting on the wondrous love demonstrated by this sacrifice.
