Crucify Him

About this time every year on the far end of Holy Week the church ventures into the passion story. At my church a couple of readers take various parts, and the congregation serves as the crowed. Each year when we as a church yell, “Crucify him! Crucify Him!” I feel like we’re all finally admitting publicly to our ongoing complicity in Christ’s death, our daily betrayal of his teachings and his love for us.
As we the people of North Carolina prepare to kill Willie Brown Jr. we join our voices in chorus once again yelling, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
Lord with all your love for us, please forgive us.
