‪#‎ldat40‬ day 12, Hanging Tree, James Howard Newton

I'm reading Nadia Boltz-Webber's Book Pastrix. Pastor Nadia reflects on hanging tree of the cross and how this one of only two times when Mary the mother of Jesus is mentioned in the Gospel of John. The other is at the Wedding of Cana, where Jesus performs his first miracle.
In both Johnine Mary sightings she is referee to as "woman". As the wedding of Cana she points out to Jesus that the wine is out and the people thirst. Jesus points out that his hanging tree time is not at hand, and Mary just tells others to follow what Jesus says.

At the hanging tree when Jesus time is at hand, Jesus tells Mary that he thirsts. I found this linkage powerful. In that the life and death of Jesus connects the thirst of the world with that of God. In Christ God shares creations thirst and in Christ this thirst is quenched.

What do you think?
