Soul Snack 9/51 ... Piercing Jesus
... one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. Jn 19:34
Jesus was dead then, now He is alive. Has the piercing of Jesus ever stopped?
Arranged around the globe now is an annual celebration that crucifies Him afresh. Jesus vacation very well received, His vocation not at all.
Very recently with boisterous bravado and ill thought reflections a teenager glibly informed me that Jesus was a lunatic (not lord, nor a liar - his other alternatives).
Silence was the instantly immediate response when I requested he support his bold assertion.
He will enjoy the festivity of the season. He has simply pierced again the reason for the season.
