It is Friday…but Sundays Coming
It is Good Friday. On the one hand the events of the cross are in the forefront of my mind. I can’t really grasp what it must have been like for Jesus. The betrayal, the beating, the insults, the cross. I can’t really grasp what it must have been like for the disciples. The abandonment, the confusion, the fear. I am in awe that Jesus went to such lengths for me. MY sin put Him in that situation. MY sin is responsible for the the betrayal, the beating, the insults.
On the other hand, I see all of those events in light of the resurrection. I know that My redeemer lives! I know that he has made a way for me for life with Him forever. I know that He has forgiven ME, and that my sin is washed away. I live in the grace and mercy and unfailing love of My RISEN Savior!
And so, on Friday, I think of the cross and its events and I am humbled and aware of my sin. All the while, the back drop of Sunday approaching fills me with an excitement because He is risen. I encourage you to spend this weekend in the glorious tension. It is Friday…but Sundays coming.
