Sage knowledge from a friend...
A blessed Good Friday to you all.
Today, we reflect on the most powerful and misunderstood moment in human history, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
To many, the cross looks like defeat.
To the world, it looks like weakness.
But in truth, it is the greatest display of God’s power, justice, and love.
God is holy and just, sin cannot be ignored.
But God is also love, He desires to save, not destroy.
So how does God remain just while forgiving sinners?
The answer is the cross.
On Good Friday, we remember that Jesus did not die as a victim, He died as a willing sacrifice. As it is written in the Bible, He bore our sins, took our punishment, and satisfied divine justice.
This is not emotional storytelling. This is divine logic.
Sin has a cost. (The wages of sin is death)
Justice demands payment.
Love provides the substitute.
Jesus stood in our place.
The cross is where:
Justice is not compromised.
Mercy is not withheld.
And salvation is made available to all who believe.
Many ask: “Why couldn’t God just forgive without the cross?”
Because true justice cannot simply ignore wrongdoing. If God overlooks sin, He ceases to be just. But if He punishes all sin without mercy, no one survives.
So God did something only He could do, He stepped into His own creation and paid the price Himself.
That is why Jesus cried, “It is finished.”
Not “I am finished” but the work of redemption is complete.
This Good Friday, don’t just feel emotional, understand the truth:
The cross is not a symbol of tragedy.
It is the foundation of salvation.
Your forgiveness was not free, it was paid for.
So the question is not whether Jesus died…
The question is: will you receive what His death accomplished?
Reflect. Believe. Respond.
Because Sunday is coming…
Hallelujah!!!
Happy Good Friday 🙏
