“Obedient Unto Death”
Matthew's Passion account begins with a long narrative about Jesus and his disciples at the Last Supper and judging from the goings-on around that table we can imagine that Jesus’ passion begins here. Christ’s passion was much more than the brutal, physical suffering he was made to endure. His was also a passion of discouragement, frustration and failure.
Jesus comes to us when our hope is shattered and we want to walk away. He comes to us in the poor and the sick and the frightened and the lonely. He comes to us when we grow weak and stumble and he lifts us up with the assurance that he will stay with us through the valley of death until we, too, will rise with him to the fullness of life.
