Reflection
Good Friday is a paradox—how can something so brutal be called good?
Because it wasn’t just a death; it was a victory.
I had my own “Good Friday” moment on August 9, 1987—the day I checked myself into treatment. With a nudge from Lori and a shattered spirit, I surrendered to what felt like defeat. I didn’t know that admission would become the beginning of freedom.
On the cross, Jesus bore the full weight of our sins. His words, “It is finished” (John 19:30), weren’t a surrender—they were a declaration of victory.
Grace, redemption, and access to God were secured forever.
To His followers, that day looked like the end. But what looked like loss was actually a setup for resurrection.
I can most certainly relate…Thank you, Lord Jesus!
Thought for the Day:
God often works through what we don’t understand. Don’t quit in the dark. The cross wasn’t the end—it was the doorway to everything new.
John 19:30, “It is finished.”… and the best is yet to come!
