Reflection: Find Jesus

8.22 Reflections: Mark 15:37-41

With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!" Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

I began to imagine a Christian man who had just thrown his life to save another’s. In my mind, the man, with his last words, said, “find Jesus.”
