From a Christian perspective, this is a bittersweet week with a flood of emotions. We cannot begin to understand how great a love Christ had for God's creation (us) that He would suffer the torture and pain especially considering He knew what was coming at the end of this week.
The loneliness and despair He, as the Son of man, felt when He knew what must take place. How He obeyed, being the Son of God, His heavenly Father, unto death to shed His blood to pay the ultimate price for our sins.
How His earthly Mother would be heart broken and devastated at what she had to watch her Son live through knowing she could not save Him, she could not 'fix' it for Him.
God forgive us for our callous approach to what took place during that week. Give us Your love for each other as we move through the Holy week and praise You for the sacrifice Your Son, our Savior, Christ Jesus, suffered through to allow us to come live forever with You. Amen.
