Lent: Were You There?

The African American Spiritual “Were You There?” reminds us that placing ourselves at the scene of Christ’s death is transformative. We all play a part in the drama in the events that lead to Christ's death. By exploring various people’s motivations and actions in the story, we can see ourselves more clearly. When that happens, God’s forgiving grace can bring new insights and spiritual growth.

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

O sometimes, it causes me to tremble! Tremble! Tremble!
