Yesterday was Good Friday. Tomorrow is Easter. It’s in the in-between when there is much chaos and uncertainty. For those who followed Jesus, there is pain, turmoil, heartache, and many questions being asked. Like anything else in our lives, the time between two events in our lives can be a little unsettling. Patience can be a virtue but it’s very human to lose a little faith while waiting. As Tom Petty once sang “The Waiting Is The Hardest Part”. Sunday is Coming but getting through Saturday will be tough.

Good Friday Remembered, Jesus Came To Make The World Better #goodfriday
Today is Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. It is traditionally a day of fasting and penance.
On this day I am remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made for humanity. One embraced by many. To give ones life for the cause of love is a noble one. Today I remember that act. Jesus did so much in a short amount of time that made people whole and brought people together. He was a carpenter so he built community and offered justice to the oppressed. To those who followed him he gave them a life of opportunity to do amazing things. May all of us find ways to emulate the works Jesus in our own way.
Happy Easter, The Resurrection of Christ
To those of you celebrating this day as believers in Christ I wish you a Happy Easter. Today we are grateful for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. May God bless us all this day.
Today Is Good Friday, Praise To You Lord Christ #goodfriday #episcopal #anglican
Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen….The Collect For Good Friday of The Episcopal Church.
The message of Good Friday is good winning the day. Evil put in it’s place. It’s about sacrifice, love and grace. I think the message of this day is about a humility and heroism embodied by a man who showed by example how to live in the best way possible. I think Jesus is a superhero who never wore a cape but stood up for all people.
