"Crucify him! Crucify him!"
Allowing the money god to rip apart our families in the pursuit of the almighty dollar and a life of ease and pleasure... a nail is pounded into his hand!
"Crucify him! Crucify him!" We live in our own selfish little world surrounded by all that gives us instant and momentary happiness - going from happiness to happiness without thought of others in our lives... Another nail is pounded into his other hand!
"Crucify him! Crucify him!" Abortion takes the lives of thousands of innocent babies every day of the year! Total lack of respect for life in this "culture of death." A nail is pounded through his foot and the blood pours out!
"Crucify him! Crucify him!" Marriages and families are tossed aside because the "most cherished cross" is too difficult and painful. We don't want to change or become humble in the sight of God! The other nail is pounded in and the blood pours out!
"Crucify him! Crucify him!" The sick and aged are not wanted or loved... they are put in homes to cared for by others and their lives are of no value. The lance is placed in his side and blood and water comes forth! Christ is dead on the cross! 
"Crucify him! Crucify him!" Our lack of willingness to fit time with our Lover and Lord into our busy lives... He longs to spend time with us and to minister to our needs!
"Crucify him! Crucify him!" Our indulgences in food, drink, sex, and material possessions... ME,me,me.... leave that behind and look out! 
Christ took all these sins and all others to the cross and suffered and died to give us life... may this Holy Week allow us to come humbly to Him and accept his forgiveness and go forward to have a better life with Him in the center! He does thirst for us, and loves us with a love without end! Jesus, we trust in you! Amen and Halleluia!
