Peeling Back the Layers to Capture Theme by Author Elizabeth Ludwig

Seth Michael Ludwig. I like to say my son’s name every now and then. It reminds me that he was real—that for three months and nineteen days, he was a part of my life. The details of Seth’s death are foggy to me. Perhaps as some sort of defense mechanism, my mind has blocked out the more painful memories. I remember calling his name, in a quiet tone of voice so as not...

Sunday Devotional: He Was Led

So, if the theme of Lent is “The Road to Calvary,” it only makes sense to focus on the next step. Take the bruised, bloodied, and tattered Man, remove the beautiful purple robe and replace his own humble garments, then lead him out for crucifixion. And that itself should give one pause. He was led. He went willingly. Why would He do this? Why? I’ve asked this question here, before. We know it was for love. Love of fallen humanity. “And He, bearing...

Sunday Devotional: Innocent Man, Stubborn God

... and the seemingly pointless trials continue, as the last day before the Crucifixion plays out. This time, Jesus is dragged off to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. It’s obvious Pilate is irritated—for starters, Scripture tells us it’s first thing in the morning. From the account in John, we find out the Jews wouldn’t even enter the Praetorium because they didn’t want to be defiled on the Passover, so Pilate takes himself outside to talk...
