Good Friday is the second day of the Triduum, the holiest days of the Christian church year which began on Thursday as Jesus ate his last supper with the disciples and ends on Easter morning when Mary and Martha found an empty tomb. On this day, the Son of God endured a sham trial, suffered greatly, and died painfully on the cross. He was jeered and mocked by other people, and Jesus was alone as he hung on the cross. It was not until he cried out his final word in John 19:30 when His redemptive mission and work on earth was completed:
Tetelestai! It is finished!
He died on the cross in order to satisfy God’s wrath and make salvation possible for all men and women who believe in Him, receive the free gift of grace, and follow Him. He died so that we might not experience eternal separation from God. Oh, Love so amazing, Love so divine!
Instead of my daily video meditations, I wanted to post a list of written, music, and video meditations you might want to read and view as you prepare your hearts for the glory of Easter morning. If you have good ones, please share it in the comment section at the bottom. You might end up blessing more believers by whatever you share on this website!
