Thinking About Jesus' Death

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!
