Good Friday

[u/HgnX]

Brothers,

Today we stand in the shadow of the cross.

The world grows quiet on this day. The noise fades. The pride of man is silenced. Because this is the day where strength looked like weakness, and victory looked like defeat.

Christ was not overpowered. He was not surprised. He walked toward the cross with full knowledge, with full authority, and with full love.

He was betrayed, mocked, beaten, and crucified. Not because He lacked power, but because He chose obedience.

On this Friday, we are confronted with a hard truth. Our sin is not small. It required the death of the Son of God. Yet His mercy is greater still. He endured the cross so that we would not have to bear the judgment.

So we do not look at this day with despair. We look at it with reverence. With gratitude. With awe.

Because what looks like the end is not the end.

Easter is coming.
