Good

I can think of many words to describe the day Jesus was crucified on the cross, but good would never have been the word I would have chosen. I guess because I look at it from the perspective of the pain and agony He went through. I think about how He was beaten, put to shame. How He carried that huge cross on His back and prepared for His crucifixion. I think about the stripes He took on His back for MY healing and how He had nails driven into His hands and feet as they placed Him on that cross. The crown of thorns that was not gently placed on His head but rather shoved down in to his head and the thorns that pierced his brow. The time He spent hanging on the two pieces of timber that He created so that I could go free. I think about Mary and how she watched her son suffer and die. When I think of all these things and so much more I never think about the word good.

But really it was a good day because He loved us so much that He gave his life so that I can go free. He took all the suffering, sin, death upon Himself so that I wouldn't have to. Good ? Nah I would say amazing, awesome, heroic, unbelievable, undeserving ..... That's why He is my Lord. I call Him Lord. And you know what today's Friday but Sundays on the way!
