Imagine holding a cherished vase, only to watch it slip from your grasp and shatter into irreparable pieces. It's a visceral feeling of loss and despair, akin to the shattered hopes we encounter in life. Perhaps it's the dream job that eludes us, the strained relationships with loved ones, or the relentless battle against addiction. In those moments, when the pieces of our lives lay scattered at our feet, what do we do? As you read about the final days of Jesus's earthly life, you are confronted with the painful reality of shattered hope. In Luke 23:1-49, we witness the heart-wrenching moments leading to Jesus's crucifixion, a narrative that resonates deeply with the brokenness we experience in our own lives. So, what do we do when hope is shattered? Jesus' disciples give us an example to follow when we feel like our hopes have been shattered.
