Bleeding Edge

And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:

“THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS”

Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”

But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying: “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”

Then he said to Jesus: “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ “

Having said this — He breathed His last.

–Luke 23:38-46 NKJ

PS:

Good Friday.

What a great day to recall the Good Friday back in 1989 that brought Peace to all and sundry on another Good Friday effort at Peace that I participated into diplomacy many years ago…

A diplomatic effort that brought Peace to Ireland and ended the Civil War, and so today I hope for a reprieve and a Peace Deal in Ukraine by the Grace of God.

Back in the day it was called “The Belfast Agreement” and today known as “The Good Friday Agreement,” because it was reached on Good Friday, 10 April 1998 and Peace ensued over Easter…

May we hope for some kind of miracle by the time Orthodox Easter arrives next week in Ukraine?

Let us pray for PEACE and may God Bless all of the people affected by this conflict…
