Graphic - The Crucifixion of Jesus

In the early 1960s Johnny Cash toured with the Carter family, and one of the songs they would sing was the old spiritual, "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?"

Were you there when they crucified my Lord? 

Were you there when they crucified my Lord? 

O sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble...

The ancient biographers of the life of Jesus wrote their gospels to help those of us who weren't there when they crucified the Author of Life to know what happened and what it all means. 

In telling us about Jesus, Luke takes us to the place outside of Jerusalem where he introduces us to a number of folks who were there when the crucified the Lord, and in his reporting of the events, he also highlights a number of ironies. 

This Sunday, we're going to listen to what Luke wants us to see and know about this event that has massive ramificaitons not only for those who originally read his account of the life and death of Jesus, but also for us and for any who would come across his words.

Please join us in person at 10am this Sunday at the Hilton Garden Inn.

Here's a copy of the worship folder

We hope to see you there!
