The Best Friday

Friday 10th April 2020

Good Friday

Is it by chance that there is 1.3 million people infected with a virus that has gone global?

Is it by chance that the virus is described and named a Crown, the very symbol of authority and rulership?

Is it by chance that the world is on the precipice of further collapse, fear and death?

Is it by chance that we are here, at Easter, a time for the world to remember death, death of our bodies and soul? 

Is it by chance, that Easter is a time where we remember the Crown of Thorns pressed into the headship of Heaven, for our sake? 

Is it by chance, that Easter is a time where we remember the Crown of Life? 

Is it by chance that we are here, at Easter, the time where the Israelites would remember the Passover? Where the angel of Death, passed over the households that had committed themselves to God with the blood of a sacrificed lamb? 

Is it by chance that we are here, at Easter, with the Good News of redemption, restoration, hope, forgiveness and New Life? 

Lord, I praise you for your wonderous majesty and timing. Your mystical sovereignty that brings all things together for Good - your Good, which is my good, my neighbours Good. 

Lord help me be a vessel of your peace, your love, your grace and hope to others.
