It May Feel Like Friday

 But Sundays on the way....

The cross was two pieces of dead wood; and a helpless, unresisting Man was nailed to it; yet it was mightier than the world, and triumphed, and will ever triumph over it. ~Augustus William Hare

I cannot think of anything more wonderful than a Savior willing to take all my punishment so I can be united with God. Of course wish there could have been another way.  The actual suffering that Christ endured breaks my heart. God is sovereign. I trust him, he knew what had to be done and he gave his son to be a sacrifice.
The scriptures tell us of his suffering, his burial and come Sunday morning His might resurrection from the grave.  Death could not hold him and he ascended into Heaven to take his place at the right hand of God.  Good Friday is a day of remembrance for the suffering and mighty love Jesus has for us all. Sunday is the most triumphant event in the Christian belief.

"If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. . . .We are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead." In that same chapter he says "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen sleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men." But then Paul triumphantly declares, "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Cor. 15:14-20).
