God between the criminals

"Good Friday brings the wrongdoing before God, the unjust killing and the unjust dying. The suffering of Jesus and the suffering of humans become one. Passion stories everywhere – and in their midst the God of mercy,” LWF Vice-President Pröpstin Astrid Kleist, says in this year’s Good Friday message.
