John 19:35
"However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out."
Key Reflection
This piercing symbolizes both physical death and spiritual life. Just as the soldier's spear opened Jesus' side to release physical blood and water, so too did Christ’s sacrifice open a way for eternal life, allowing the waters of salvation to flow freely.
