Blood Poured Out

A Holy Week Reflection


How can it be, that You are willing to suffer for a sinner like me?
How can it be, that You are willing to shed Your precious blood for a world (You created) that has turned their backs against You?
How can it be, that You have humbled Yourself, turned into a single cell, to be born out of the womb of a human and walked among your creation, knowing that You mission to come is to die?

Why would anyone do this, knowing that the love You give will not be reciprocated, knowing that You will be betrayed by Your very own creation?


You have forgiven time and again, saved Your creation time and again, yet they keep falling back to their old sinful ways.

You must have been so desperate to the point that the only measure to take is for Your love to be shown in the most extreme way - to be tortured, humiliated, scorned, scourged, detested, mocked at and to die like a criminal.


An unworthy, sinful, ungrateful creation.

Yet, You still poured out Your blood for us unconditionally.
