BORROWED WISDOM

 Today is Good Friday.  By tradition, the day that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified.  Here is an old entry of mine about Good Friday I wrote a few years ago.  

As you can see, it's about "Walls"; not the walls of your home or the ones Trump wanted to erect.  Today, think about the walls you have built in your life.  Walls that separate us from certain other people or from doing certain things.  We think they are there to protect us but often they inhibit us from new challenges or, maybe, just from doing what we should be doing.  Break through your walls - do what you know you should do.

WALLS

Today is Good Friday - traditionally it is the day that the death of Jesus Christ is remembered.  All the events surrounding his death occurred in or around Jerusalem.  Jerusalem was a walled city.  At the time of Jesus, there were about six gates through those walls. 

The 'Last Supper' took place in a corner of the upper city inside the walls.  He and some of  his apostles retired to a garden after the meal.  That garden is well outside the walls of the city to the East.  When Jesus was scourged and tried, he was back inside the city.  The carrying of the cross took him back outside the city walls to the hill called Golgotha north of the city.  The burial place of Jesus was also outside the walls.
