The way Jesus died is horrific.
The fact that He had to die for things I have done
is sad, upsetting and, even, embarrassing.
That’s why I am so thankful the larger story is one
of Good News and hope!
Today we think about Jesus’ death. It is right for
us to do this; it is a necessary part of knowing and understanding the story.
But even as we ponder the sad realities of this day, we know that Sunday is
coming.
I am grateful that for those who trust in Christ
even the somberness of Good Friday is entered into with the knowledge that
there is, ultimately, hope, joy and… Victory!
