Good Friday

Today is Good Friday.

For those who followed Jesus, their hopes died with him. And as we enter into this day and experience it again, our hopes die with him today. There is no true salvation. The kingdom of God will not come. We have invested our hearts with him and he is gone. There is nothing to live for and no hope in death either. There is only despair, hurt, anguish, and pain. Everything we have believed and hoped for is dead.

Today is Good Friday.

North Point had a great Good Friday service that portrayed this really well. They had to take a little license but they had someone reading a journal of John (the dsiciple) over the course of Friday morning to Saturday afternoon. It really helped you get the idea of how bizarre and scary it would have been to the Christ followers of that day.
