We just had our Good Friday service last night. I came to the conclusion that I go through that service very angry. I still don't know why. A good bit of my feelings stem from my reading of Isaiah 53 and the words "pierced for our transgressions." He was like a "lamb lead away to slaughter....and say nothing." I have a hard time celebrating Good Friday. So going through that service is difficult. We sung "The Wonderful Cross" last night and but I will never really wrap my mind around that day as He hung there. Can I really say how wonderful it is or really survey it as the song says? I will never know how excruciating the suffering was. They had to invent the word excruciating, which literally means "from the cross." He did it all for me. My sin. My deny God, My failures. My failing to serve God faithfully. My not doing what He commands. My not saying yes to Him. My not giving my heart to Him. My not allowing Him to reign in my heart. On and On and On.
I Corinthians 15:3 says that "Christ died for our sins;" and made atonement for me. Thanks be to Him.
