“Jesus Died for Somebody’s Sins (But Not Mine)”: New IMAGE Blog Essay
Excerpt:
“Patti Smith’s 1975 debut album, Horses, famously opens with the line, “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine.” Smith goes on to sing, ‘My sins my own, they belong to me, me.’
I think about this when I serve communion at church, as partaking of this sacrament is a way for believers to proclaim, “Jesus died for me—even me.” In my three years of service as communion coordinator, I have only seen a few people dismiss the bread or the cup. They wave their hands at the plate as if to say, ‘Sorry, this isn’t for me.’”
