Jesus, today the skies are gray in our hearts as we
consider the sacrifice you made. If we take even a moment to ponder your
horrific death at our hands, we must acknowledge the wickedness of our hearts
and flesh. Yet you submitted to our demands. You received the punishment
intended for us. You experienced your first-ever separation from your Heavenly
Father. And you died. We thank you with all our hearts. We thank you by
offering our lives to your service in response. And we say on this
"Good" Friday that you are the One who is good. You are the One who
let your goodness overflow into our lives, paying for our sins, changing our
hearts. Thank you for the cross. Amen.
