1 Cor 1:18 “For
the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us
which are saved it sis the power of God.”
Good Friday… is not just a day of remembrance, but a calling. We’re eager to embrace the resurrection, but
Jesus called us to the Cross first. There’s a famous sermon preached by many
titled “It’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming.”
Most importantly is the fact that Friday is the road to Sunday. There’s no resurrection without the Cross,
but because of the Cross we’re promised a Good Friday. When God feels distant,
when cries seem to fall in silence the Cross is what bridges your emotional
needs. Reflect on the cost of the Cross and the ultimate act of friendship and
love. The Cross showed His vulnerability and commitment to His love and
friendship. Friends always let you in and lever let you go, they always have
time and never let you down. In Jesus’s greatest act of love and friendship His
hands were secured, and He was defenseless. As He looked down from the Cross and
saw all the people denying Him, betraying Him, forsaking Him, and rejecting Him,
in the greatest act of love and friendship, HE STAYED!
You’ll miss the goodness of His love and friendship if you miss
the Goodness of Friday!
“The only crown-wearers in heaven will be the cross-bearers
here below.”
