The true meaning of Good Friday

So here's a post about Good Friday (although it's a tad late). I got the text off of a video I watched and here's the link. 

It's crazy cool. 

Good Friday

how can one describe such a day?

the wrongdoing of all humanity 

putting to an end 

an innocent man

the son of God

this is the story of Jesus

death, by way of a cross

all in one moment, bringing death to 

the bright light of our future

He never stopped loving us

and yet, this is the incredible part of it:

our sin stopped his heart

our sin drove the nails

firmly in the hands of God

all along, these were the plans

we told ourselves that we were in control

and this was deemed sufficient for all of us

the brutal beating

the inhuman flogging

the naked humiliation

Heaven watched and saw it all:

our rebellion, our guilt, our shame

erasing the very notion of 

reconciling us with God

our sin and our debt

overcoming

Jesus

here is our King

obliterated

the enemy laughing: his plans 

unstoppable - there's no longer the sound of 

freedom rising, now God's people are

utterly broken - behold

the chains of mortality

yes, this is what is true

we had heard the stories of old; 

the lost are found

the blind can see

the weak are made strong

but now we are witnesses to this reality

God is dead

we had almost believed

 there is a way of redemption

there is a life of fulfillment

there is a peace beyond understanding

now we know better

for us

we can say that God is

encapsulated in this one realization:

the single greatest sacrifice in human history 

is finished...

how clearly we can see it

so what's so good about Good Friday? 

just one thing: 

that the blood of Jesus can reverse the curse of sin

and raise the dead to life

Now here's the crazy part. Read this chapter each line from bottom to top. Or just go to the link above. Your mind will be blown. 100% guaranteed. (if I copied this right)
