It’s “Good” Friday
I am not a Christian man, nor do I play one on TV.
I grew up in a family that was, and as such, some of the things bleed through every once in a while. Today is “Good Friday,” a day that commemorates the death of Jesus.
Yes, for those who aren’t religious, this is a cause of celebration in the Christian community.
The reason they celebrate Good Friday is that even though Jesus died that day, it sets up the events that lead to his “resurrection” three days later.
It’s the “big pain” on the way to salvation, baby.
Let’s double back and throw that back into our own lives, then. What trial lies in front of us, one that may be painful at first, that will lead to significant success? What are we willing to sacrifice, knowing that it’s coming, to get there?
Worth pondering, I think.
