*These reflections are taken from pieces of the last words of the last 40 persons executed in Texas.
Robert Wayne Harris–
“I’m going home, I’m going home. I’ll be alright, don’t worry.”
Robert Wayne Harris wanted everyone to be at ease as he finished his journey. In John 14:1, Jesus speaks to the disciples in the same way, “Let not your hearts be troubled…” Though there was still pain and suffering to face, Jesus knew that he was going home. What if we lived as if we were just on our way home?
I invite you to pray the last words of Robert Wayne Harris:
“I’m going home, I’m going home. I’ll be alright, don’t worry.”
Amen.
