When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. - Matthew 27:50–52 (NIV)
On Friday...at Calvary...In darkness...Jesus Died.
By contemplating the harshness of the cross and Jesus’ suffering, we recognize the glory of Easter Sunday. The Old Story of Good News must be shared with the world. The truth is that there is no glorious “Christ is risen” without the preamble of “Christ has died”. It is the awfulness of Good Friday that makes Easter so good. It is in His facing and conquering of death that we can see a way out of our own mess.
Good Friday is good in that it represents God's amazing and incredible love for us. It is picture of humankind at our worst, and God at His best!
We are so thankful for what God has done for us through His son Jesus Christ.
He came from heaven to earth to show the way. From the earth to the cross, our debt to pay. From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky. Lord We lift Your name on high!
