Today is Good Friday. Although I don't profess to be a Christian, I have good friends, whom I love, who do. What I do admire is spiritual sincerity. It's not so much what you believe as the sincerity of your heart that counts.
The Christian faith hinges upon the belief that Jesus willingly underwent the Crucifixion -- surely one of the most cruel forms of punishment ever devised by man -- as a sacrifice for all humankind. But then, the Christ does that every time he comes.
This song, written and performed by Leon Bridges, is an expression of humility and longing, the two qualities which make one open to healing. That is what touches me in this performance.
