Lord, where would I be had YOU not been so good to me? I don’t even want to imagine life without you. Good Friday is only “good” because of such a good good and faithful Father You are and Your good news gospel. Your goodness came down to earth and clothed Himself humbly in flesh to save sinful people like me. Even when you knew I would reject you at times and sin against you, you still carried my sin on that cross and you endured the pain and shame so that I would know the depths, width, length and height of your love. Had that been me taking your place on the cross, surely I would have ruined God’s plan. I would have retaliated and fought back. I would have hit, spit and kicked back. I would have prideful proven my power instead of enduring such pain.. But You…you aren’t like me. You stayed silent and sinless in the midst of agony and torture. You did this for us knowing that some would still not receive your love. I deserved death and yet you took it on for me. There is no greater love one could have ever demonstrated. I am forever grateful for your goodness. Thank you Jesus. I’m so thankful death could not hold you down. I’m so thankful you rose from that sin stained tomb. I love you 😭
