Hello Friends,
This will be a short one, mostly just a song and a wish for a meaningful Good Friday. I encourage you not to rush through the pain of this weekend. Don’t rush past the torture of the cross and the agony that Jesus bore. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to take your eyes off of Mary, the mother of Jesus, at the foot of the cross, and what it means to lose a child. Don’t be in too much of a rush to wrestle with the guilt of betraying your best friend. Easter is coming, but we aren’t there yet. The struggle of Good Friday and Holy Saturday are a significant part of the story, so find the courage to sit in the tension this weekend.
Blessings,
Rick Lee James
“I know a better man than me
Walked the hill to Calvary.
Sometimes it takes a cross to set us free.”
