Contemplating and meditating on the 7 Cries of Jesus on the Cross recorded in the gospels.
In this prayer, a reflection on what Christ has achieved as much as what He said, we are reminded that the forgiveness that Jesus offers is of a different order completely to the forgiveness we extend. The grace of God is this, that before we could acknowledge our guilt or ask for His forgiveness, Jesus was making a way.
Written and read by Sammy Davies
Inspired by Luke 23:33-34
You have revealed to us the better way
To bless those who curse us
To pray for those who mistreat
You have commanded us
To love our neighbours as ourselves
With no statute on how they might act
But God, our living God, our God made flesh
You do not simply instruct and direct
But You go before us and have lived as we ought to live
When Christ, so innocent, took our place
From that place, He looked down and forgave
We seek forgiveness when our guilt overwhelms
We pursue forgiveness when our failings are revealed
Yet Christ prayed for our forgiveness when we were unaware
Christ paid for our forgiveness when we had yet to confess
Truly that is love
To cover over for another
Without persuasion or pleading
To cancel a debt without application
When You open our eyes God
To our lowly position, our feeble estate
Already the place at Your table has been set
Because Christ Jesus has gone before
Jesus - Thank You
For moving towards us
While we were still turned away
You command
You instruct
But, Jesus, You lead the way
To pray for those who mistreat
To bless those who curse us
To love our neighbours as ourselves
You have revealed to us the better way
And by the Son summon us to walk it
Amen
