Lord, we thank You for Your great love. There is no love like Your love.
We think of Your Son giving Himself, in death, for us. We think of His
suffering for us and we say, “Saviour of the world, what have You done
to deserve this?” We look at the Cross, and we see more than suffering.
We see love, and we say, “Saviour of the world … what have we done to
deserve You?” Beyond “the mystery of undeserved suffering”, we catch a
glimpse of something else – something very, very wonderful: “the deeper
mystery of unmerited love” (Common Order, Prayer for Good Friday).
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
