Good Friday!

Good-Friday! The reflection:
IBIS AD CRUCEM!
(You shall go to the cross!)

With these three words Pontius Pilate pronounced the sentence of death upon Jesus, forcing Jesus to carry his cross to a spot outside the city gates of Jerusalem, to a hill called Golgotha, and there he was crucified.
We must linger long there and take in carefully all that happened. For what happened at Golgotha when Jesus ‘was crucified, died, and was buried,’ as the Apostles Creed so succinctly declares, discloses both the raw and naked aggression of evil and also the supreme expression of God's love.
Good Friday marks the slaying of our Jesus. The unblemished lamb, the perfect sacrifice. He took our guilt and blame upon Himself so we could be with Him in paradise. Today we remember God's great love for us. May this day bring new meaning and change in your life! Wishing all Christians a blessed Good Friday.
