Good Friday sermon March 29, 2023
Lifted Up
by the Rev. Salying Wong
There is a lot of suffering in the world. So much of it we don't even know about. It is hard for us to come close to it. Other people's suffering is abstracted by distance and time, but also by social categories like race. We perceive the distance when we actually feel someone's suffering because they look like us. We actually feel it in our bodies. That is what Jesus does on Good Friday. He comes to us in the hardest things with his body on the cross. Because he is God and God is love, he can come close particularly. God's solidarity saturates our suffering, unveils our propensity for cruelty, and bids us to do justice.
