It’s easy for me to automatically look past Good Friday with anticipation for Resurrection Sunday. All of us would rather attend a celebratory party than a solemn cemetery. However, as I grow older I realize that the more I contemplate the anguish of the Cross, the more celebration I experience on Easter Sunday. To overlook the price that Christ paid cheapens the grace that has been given to each of us. The more one overcomes the greater the jubilation once victory has been obtained. Today I will try to remain focused on the “Gruesome Friday” that Christ experienced that would ultimately be called “Good Friday” for those who benefited from his sacrifice.
Abiding!

As much as I love The Resurrection and the victory won over death, Good Friday is the most meaningful day on the Christian calendar to me. The Cross was WHERE the battle was fought.
