The Suffering Servant

April 7, 2023 | Han Choi BF ‘24

As Christians, this is our defining heartcry—to be more like Jesus. The original Greek word Christianos (Christ meaning “the anointed” and tian meaning “little”) literally translates to “little Christs,” or “little anointed ones.” We are meant to be little Jesuses.

Terror at the Cross, Transformed

April 15, 2022 | By Jadan Anderson MC’22

On that Friday, we looked at Jesus on the cross and were appalled. From what did we avert our eyes?

With guilty relief and a strange sense of injustice, we try to grasp how in God’s just world this perfect Man would die our deaths. How could we look? How could we look away?

Loving the Dying Christ

April 8, 2022 | By TJ Dulac H ‘23

How often have I found myself in the place of the disciples in today’s Gospel reading, where they do not understand Jesus when He foretells His death for the third time: “He will be handed over to the Gentiles; and he will be mocked and insulted and spat upon. After they have flogged him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again” (Luke 18:34). How often have I lost sight of the final parts of our Lenten journey, when Jesus is stripped, scourged, mocked, crucified, and killed.

Two Thieves

April 1, 2021 | By John Daoud PM ‘21

Lent calls us to improve and deepen our relationship with the Lord in many ways. One such way is through an examination of his Passion. I have recently been drawn to the beautiful Passion hymn, “The Song of the Two Thieves.” The hymn finds its root in the Indian Orthodox churches and is originally in Malayalam. Translations may be found here and here. And of course, hymns are not meant to be read but rather chanted.

God’s Suffering

Nov. 8th, 2020 | Se Ri Lee MC ‘23+1

In my previous encounters with this verse from Isaiah 53, my thoughts had always dwelled on the word “suffer,” then shifted to pondering God’s inexplicable reason for allowing suffering a place in the world. This time, as I read over it, my eyes rested on the “him.” It suddenly occurred to me that God put Himself through suffering. It was God’s will for His Son Jesus (i.e. God Himself [1]) to suffer perhaps the greatest suffering of all time: death through torture, crucifixion on the cross.
