Drawing All People

 

Scripture: John 12:32 (NIV)

And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.

Reflection

The cross stands as both exposure and invitation. It reveals the depth of human violence and the depth of God’s love at the same time. Christ lifted up becomes a centre drawing humanity toward reconciliation.

Lent prepares us to face this reality without turning away. At the cross, human cruelty is laid bare and divine mercy remains steadfast, drawing wounded humanity toward restoration.

Communities gathered around this love become agents of healing. They participate in the work of drawing people toward justice, compassion, and restored relationship.

Prayer

God of reconciling love,

Draw my heart toward Christ.

Heal divisions that wound your people.

Strengthen my commitment to unity.

Make me an instrument

Of your reconciling work ~ Amen.

Invitation

Pray for someone different from yourself.

Hold them in God’s love.

Say quietly:

“Draw us together.”
