"Christianity is the only major world religion to have as its central focus the suffering and degradation of its God. The crucifixion is so familiar to us, and so moving, that it is hard to realize how unusual it is as an image of God." Churches sometimes offer Christian education classes under the title "Why Did Jesus Have to Die?" This is not really the right question. A better one is, "Why was Jesus crucified?" The emphasis needs to be, not just on the death, but on the manner of the death. To speak of a crucifixion is to speak of a slave's death. We might think of all the slaves in the American colonies who were killed at the whim of an overseer or owner, not to mention those who died on the infamous Middle Passage across the Atlantic. No one remembers their names or individual histories; their stories were thrown away with their bodies. This was the destiny chosen by the Creator and Lord of the universe: the death of a nobody. Thus the Son of God entered into solidarity with the lowest and least of all his creation, the nameless and forgotten, "the offscouring [dregs] of all things" (1 Cor. 4:13).
—Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (p.75)

Thich Nhat Hanh on self-immolation
“Before the Vietnamese monk Thich Quang Duc burned himself alive in 1963, he meditated for several weeks and then wrote very loving letters to his government, his church, and his fellow monks and nuns explaining why he had reached that decision. When you are motivated by love and the willingness to help others attain understanding, even self-immolation can be a compassionate act. When Jesus allowed himself to be crucified, He was acting in the same way, motivated by the desire to wake people up, to restore understanding and compassion, and to save people. … When you read Thich Quang Duc’s letters, you know very clearly that he was not motivated by the wish to oppose or destroy but by the desire to communicate. When you are caught in a war in which the great powers have huge weapons and complete control of the mass media, you have to do something extraordinary to make yourself heard. Without access to radio, television, or the press, you have to create new ways to help the world understand the situation you are in. Self-immolation can be such a means. If you do it out of love, you act very much like Jesus did on the cross…”
- Vietnamese monk and Zen master Thich Naht Hanh (1926-2022) in Living Buddha, Living Christ (1995)

Every car I've crashed was a Toyota, every time I walked away unharmed, and every one of those cars made a full recovery. A cross to hang above your front door to bless your travels 🙏

Good Friday is a difficult day for Christians. Although we know it's not the end of the story we mourn the pain, suffering and death of Jesus on the Cross. ✝️
Holy Saturday is the final day of Holy Week (between Good Friday and Easter Sunday). It is traditionally a day of quiet contemplation and prayer, as Christians wait and prepare for the triumphant Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. 🙌
This day commemorates the “Harrowing of Hell”, as Jesus Christ's body lay in the tomb.
But the story is not over. Tomorrow will soon be here!
Have a Blessed Holy Saturday, wherever you are. Amen! ✝️ 🙏🕊️ 🙌
