John 18:1-19:42 | Last evening, we gathered at the table with Jesus and his disciples. Tonight, we gather at the foot of the cross. There, on the hill of Calvary, there is suffering, there is pain, there is wounding, and there is weeping. But even as we gather in darkness, through Jesus Christ, we trust that in the cross, God’s love is revealed and God’s mission to bring salvation to world is finished.
