TGiF

The day is called Good Friday
Looking at the experience of Jesus
It was a day full of beating and bashing
A day he was betrayed by closest allies..
 
A day of sweat, tears and pains
I tried to picture what the scripture says...

The lies constructed against him by false witnesses

The beating by soldiers that tore his body

His shout as a crown of thorn was rammed on his head
The pain as nail is hammered on his hands and feet...
The taunting insults from young and old
How the tears rolled from Mary's eyes
 
But the height of His pain to me…
Was to be forsaken by Father God
In a loud voice he cried; Eli Eli lama sabacthani?
This was to question the Lords abandonment
 
Prior Jesus had boasted of Gods involvement with him
But on Good Friday; He journeys alone
How he longed for Gods affirmation... 

A word or sign to prove His innocence...
 
But he had become sin 
And Abba Father would not behold iniquity...
Words can’t capture all the essence of Good Friday
But we have an opportunity to remember in thanks
 
Thank you Jesus for agreeing to go through the day
You took all the pains and shame, borne all sickness...
Paid the required fee for our total freedom
You made not only Friday good; but all our days
