The days of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus are shrouded in despair, and death and suffering. All of us face these emotions, and quite of few have felt hemmed in by these ringwraiths of hell. Jesus manifested his glory in the grist of the mill, the centurion presiding over his death himself acknowledging “Surely this was the Son of God”. To manifest his nature in the throes of agony has to be from God. Any other alternative is from our flesh and will not manifest His glory. Press close while being pressed in. Salvation and resurrection come in ways we cannot imagine. Not one of his disciples could fathom or believe it when it happened despite being forewarned by Jesus himself that this would be. How we distance ourselves from Him, even when we stand next to Him. Hold close. The end may be a new beginning.
