In one sense, it seems odd to say “Happy Good Friday.” Think about it. It is the day that an innocent man endured the absolute worst pain and torture ever for other people’s sin…and it was far more than just physical pain. On the other hand, it really is a day that brings joy as well. If Jesus had not died…that pain would be brought down on you and me as we deserve. So it is a day for celebration! Of course, the story didn’t end there. Resurrection day is right around the corner! In case you forgot…the entire history of the world and the story of mankind is really not about us. It’s about Jesus. We’re part of the story…but it’s about him. I praise God once again that because of Jesus, I have freedom from bondage, and an adoption into an inheritance with the riches or heritages. God the Father is ultimately glorified over this holiday that some call “Easter.” It is through his love that he sent his SON Jesus to restore everything. We can experience the restoration of relationship now, but I have a future hope in the complete fulfillment of it all someday ahead. Were it not for his death and resurrection…I don’t even want to finish that thought. May you consider the truth of what this holiday is about and believe in the persons in whom it revolves around: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Happy Good Friday!
