Good Friday
Tumblr media
The more you think about it, the worse it gets.
No part of the Passion Gospel, the Gospel for Good Friday, has any hope.
Even the tender moments – Jesus asking John to take care of his mother, Joseph and Nicodemus making sure that Jesus has a proper burial – they’re just people dealing with the fallout from death.
You know what Joseph and Nicodemus are thinking about while they’re wrapping Jesus’ body up for burial? How much this sucks.
And whether the Romans will stop at killing Jesus. Or will they, and other followers of Jesus, be next?
The more you think about it, the worse it gets.
You know what Joseph and Nicodemus aren’t thinking about? How anything good can come from this.
Much less how God is already using all of it to do more good than either of them, or anyone on Good Friday, could ever imagine.
And yet, you and I know, that’s exactly what’s happening. Because you and I know something that Joseph and Nicodemus don’t know. Not on that worst of Friday’s.
They don’t know that Sunday is coming.
But that’s how it is, when you’re where they are. When you are right in the middle of the very worst.
When you and I are right in the middle of the very worst, there is nothing that human eyes can see to tell us that it’s ever going to get any better.
When that’s where you are, the only open question is whether it’s going to get worse.
In the middle of everything that you are dealing with right now – whether it’s death or illness, divorce or the end of a friendship, job loss or financial problems – while you’re waiting to see whether you’ve hit bottom or if it’s going to get worse. You get Joseph and Nicodemus. You are right there with them.
The more you think about what you’re dealing with, the worse it gets.
There’s nothing that our human eyes can see to tell us that anything good can come from what you’re going through.
And yet, you and I know, that’s not true.
Because you and I know something. Something that’s easy to lose sight of when you’re in the middle. Something that’s hard to hold onto when you’re scared.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s okay if we lose sight of it. Because it’s still true. Even if we’re scared. 
Today is Good Friday. And Good Friday shows us that none of it, not even the very worst, can hold down our God.
Because Sunday is coming.

"It's like a love affair, but not in a gay way"
Julian: I agree with you, 100%! [...] The more I meet Paul in later years, the more I can see that, from him.

Quote
Many Christians, with utter irony, worshipped Jesus the Scapegoat on Sundays and, on the other six days of the week, made scapegoats of Jews, Muslims, other Christian denominations, heretics, sinners, pagans, the poor, and almost anybody who was not like themselves.

Forgive : "To this end was I born"
John 18:37 - King James Version
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

''Um leproso se aproximou de Jesus e lhe pediu, de joelhos: — Se o senhor quiser, pode me purificar. E Jesus, profundamente compadecido, estendeu a mão, tocou nele e disse: — Quero, sim. Fique limpo! No mesmo instante, a lepra desapareceu dele, e ele ficou limpo.'' Marcos 1:40-42
A misericórdia do Senhor, não tem fim.
Jesus não só curou o leproso, ele o tocou. Quantas vezes você já abriu mão dos próprios desejos para ir atrás de uma alma perdida? Jesus não precisava tocar para curar, mas ele tocou. Nosso Cristo ia em lugares onde hoje recusamos ir, assim também impedimos que o evangelho seja anunciado; Ficar omisso e fugir para o monte as vezes nos impede de curar almas perdidas, quando assim estamos prontos para isso. Jesus foi crucificado ao lado de dois ladroes, ambos tinham o poder de escolha e aquele que creu, foi salvo. Deus é misericordioso e sua misericórdia se renova todas as manhãs e assim como Paulo diz, que sejamos imitadores de Cristo. Sejamos misericordiosos com o próximo, busquemos almas perdidas e que possamos ter força para não desistir de nossos irmãos.
