Good Friday

in , , ,

Lent is the season of bright sadness. And perhaps we feel the sadness most acutely on Good Friday. We take the bread and wine, behold the cross, read of the suffering Savior, and recognize the severity of our own sin. And still, on this side of the cross, we know that resurrection has come - and is coming - brightness - life, hope, return. So whether you gather with the people of God, or reflect silently and individually today, lean into the sadness and feel it give way to brightness.

Here are a few other Good Friday reflections:

Because God’s renewing power, we can sing aloud of His power and goodness.

Who can call Good Friday good?

The betrayal, wrongful conviction, torture, crucifixion, and death of Christ can only be called good in a universe where God is sovereign and in control of all things. A world where all wrongs are made right for God’s glory and our good. Good Friday is only good when viewed in light of Resurrection Sunday when viewed in light of the life that is ours in and through the death of Christ.

Who can call Good Friday good?

Those who have had their sin removed as far as the East is from the West. Whose sin is buried beneath the ocean of God’s grace, kindness, mercy, and forgiveness. Those who have become the righteousness of God because Christ became our sin. Those who never have to die because Christ died once for all.

Who can call Good Friday good?

The Father, Son, and Spirit can call Good Friday good.
