GOOD Friday???
Good Friday's just round the corner. This religious holiday is to commemorate the cruxifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross. That means he gets nailed to the cross, hands and legs and left to die like all the other criminals. What is so good about that?
Good Friday?
Shame Disgrace ridicule guilt abandonment rejection scorn violence beatings revenge discrimination hurt - all the worst things in the world.
That we are and we deserve.
Jesus Christ willingly and gladly carried it in our place and took it with him on the cross.
He was perfect, but chose to take our place of punishment.
Now, even the meanest, lowest, dirtiest, worst scum on the earth can get a pardon from a holy God. that's good news. The sentence has been served but not by me.
Good Friday is good and I am so thankful.
