As we celebrate Good Friday, we are being reminded that this last year is not the year when we should have cried out ‘My God, my God why have you forsaken me?’ For when we look at the cross, we see a saviour who stayed the course, who has been with us through the very worst of this pandemic, who has felt every nail hammered into our souls and hearts, who has hung with us, to the very end. We see a saviour who despite the calls to prove who he is by saving himself and abandoning us, chose to stay, to experience what we experience – to hang beside us right to the very end.
