Were You There?... Are You There?...
"Were you
there when they crucified my Lord...." The classic traditional spiritual
speaks of the agonizing moments there at the cross where Jesus died. The
fourth verse then goes on to ask "Were you there when He rose up from the
dead?". So often we find ourselves in dark places like Golgotha and ask
where our God is in all of this. When asking the same question about the
crucifixion, G. K. Chesterton suggests that God is there on the cross. When
all around us there seems death and darkness, it is easy to forget that God
Himself is with us, God Himself suffering alongside us.
It also helps to know that there is an end. There is a hope that just as God
suffers with us, He also leads us to resurrection both in the reality of the
future and also in our ups and downs of darkness and light. Always know that
wherever you find yourself, in dark or in light, in death or resurrection,
that God is there with you, sharing in your experience and in those around
you.
Were you there when they crucified Jesus? God certainly was. And He is
certainly there with you.
In Christ,
