Today is a day of reflection. A day of pain.
No hot cross buns for me, just tears.
"... Christ Jesus, who being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:6-8)
I pray that all of us, upon hearing this story over and over again for the many years that have passed and are to come, will never be indifferent. For Jesus died on the cross, not for a generation, but for the world that was and the world that will be.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
If Good Friday never existed, there would be no Easter. Good Friday is the day Jesus bore the punishment for us, to love us despite how most of us did not yet know him, or even worse, rejected him. He paid the ransom for us, he gave his life for us.
When someone has done so much for you, even before you knew him...
What are you to do now?
