"Here in the twelfth chapter of John, Jesus, facing his crucifixion, does not say, 'save me from this hour,' but says rather, 'glorify Your name.' And in that, I think it’s very important that we understand that there is something—although horrible and grisly—there is something glorious about Good Friday."
In his Holy Week message, Bishop Alex encourages us not to turn away from the suffering of Jesus, but to notice what God is stirring within us as we commemorate his intervention into this world.
