Good Friday??? Really?
How is it that we proclaim today a good day? Good Friday??? Really? Seems like there are other descriptions for today than good. How about Death Friday? or Bad Friday? Dark Friday? Black Friday? Sad Friday? Sin Friday? See what I mean? I want today to be called anything but Good Friday. Good Friday is problematic. There is nothing good about the day we killed God. There is nothing comfortable about celebrating or commemorating the day we chose to rid the world of God’s truth. There is nothing exciting about waking up this morning to the reality that we ignored Jesus.
We conspired against Jesus.
We drug Jesus into court.
We beat Jesus.
We nailed Jesus to a cross.
We killed Jesus.
We treated Jesus like He was evil!
See what I mean? I want today to be called anything but Good Friday! Until I realize, today is not about me. Today is not about my feelings. Today is not about what I’ve done. Its not about what you have done. Its not about what the world has done. IT IS ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS DONE! IT IS ABOUT WHAT JESUS HAS DONE! IT IS ABOUT WHAT HAD TO BE DONE! When you look at today from God’s point of view, it is a great day! Today is a good day! Today is Good Friday! Today, we remember not what WE have done, but what GOD has done through Jesus! God chose to rescue us! God chose to save us! God chose to die for us! God chose to change history forever! Today is a good day to remember how much God loves us!
It is Good Friday in heaven…
Glory! Praise His Holy Name! Thank you Jesus!
Thank you so much for interpreting God’s gift into a language all of us can more easily understand. Hallelujah What A Saviour!
