Good Friday

Today is simple, may we look deeply at the Cross, may it engage our hearts and our minds and may we today be quickly reminded to praise the Lord and give thanks for what happened here. Meditate on this with me today:

"And they brought Him to the place called Golgotha. And they offered Him wine mixed with myrrh, but He did not take is. And they crucified Him and divided His garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. And it was the third hour when they crucified Him. And the inscription of the charge against Him read, 'The Kind of the Jews.' And with Him they crucified two robbers, one on His right and one on His left. And those who passed by derided Him, wagging their heads, and saying, 'Aha!! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself and come down from the cross.'

And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, 'ELOI, ELOI, LEMA SABACHTHANI?' Which means, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?' And some of the bystanders hearing it said, 'Behold, He is calling Elijah.' And ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, 'Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down.' And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed His last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood facing Him say that in this way He breathed His last, he said, 'Truly this man was the Son of God!!!'"

I pray that you have a wonderful Good Friday.
