Good Friday

I was watching TV this morning while I was getting ready and it occurred to me how they where talking about Easter and never mentioned Good Friday, or Jesus.  I heard a lady say that when they were young they always went to church on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas and came home with the family to have a holiday feast.  Never once did anyone mentioned the reason that we as Christians celebrate this holiday. Good Friday is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Easter is the day of his resurrection from the grave to be the ONLY GOD who is alive. As a mother, and now grandmother, I stop to think how Mary felt,  her heart, body, mind and soul must have ached. She knew Jesus was a kind and loving man who truly loved everyone he came in contact. You know your children you know their weakness and strengths.  She knew her son and knew what they were doing to him was so wrong and her hands were tied. The pain and agony she felt had to make her physically ill. Good Friday was a day of great grief for all that knew this man Jesus.  Then Sunday came around and the only one true living God rolled back the stone and walked again here on earth among the people for a short time. Letting them know his body wasn't stolen or hidden at a different spot but alive and heading to the heavens to return as a great ruling KING. He also let them know that they had a job to do, and that he would return soon to gather all who believed and believes he is Lord, the I Am, the only true and living God and take us to be with him forever and ever.
