Good Friday

Why is Good Friday good if Jesus died on a cross?

That's the question my son posed on Friday.

Good question.  Jesus sacrificed himself so that we may live in hope and so that we may have an extraordinary example of unconditional love. We can take that example and live it in our daily lives. We see it and live it every day as parents by unconditionally loving and accepting our children.  We see it every day by giving and helping others throughout the world in times of trouble.

So out of the pain, suffering, and sadness comes hope, restoration, and renewal.  The death on Good Friday is exceeded by the Glory of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.  And so it is with us, we often experience pain and suffering in our lives to be only to met with better days ahead. 

Into every life some rain must fall but with the rain we get flowers and crops. Rain is followed by the sun and sometimes even a rainbow.

So keep heart and keep the faith, the Lord has risen. 

Let us rejoice and be glad.

With Love,

Coach K
