English Standard Version
It's strange, right -- the soldiers have no problem brutally killing Jesus on the cross, but when it comes to tearing his tunic, they suddenly get sensitive.
Here's Jesus, dying on the cross, and what is he doing? He's taking care of his mother and the disciple. To the very end, he's taking care of others. What does that say about Jesus? How lucky are we that we were created by a God who made us in his image and loves us enough to care for us right to and through his dying breath? The world wasn't made by someone who set it in motion and left it on its own... but rather by someone who cares about the brokenness in the world and is doing something about it.
May we love the world in the same way, that we care about it and the people in it up to and through our dying breath!
