........................... Good Friday

Happy Good Friday.  Hmmmm.........that doesn't quite sound right. Happy??  What are we suppose to say to people on Good  Friday?? We say "Merry Christmas," and "Happy Easter."  However, those are merry and happy occassions, so those words are appropriate. Well, whatever is the right word to use, ".....................................Good Friday."              Listen to a conversation that happened thousands of years ago on this morning (the day set aside to remember all these events):   "Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?"   "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it yoiu have done?"   Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."   "You are a king, then!" said Pilate.   Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. EVERYONE ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH LISTENS TO ME."  John 18:33-37   Jesus said this right before he was sentence to be crucified. This is the day we remember, reflect, and ponder Jesus being flogged, mocked, and crucified. May we be mindful (Full of thinking about) of the events of this day we remember. Spend some alone time today reading Matthew Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 22 & 23, or/and John 18 & 19.   May the importance and signifance of this day sink DEEP into our souls.   Are you on the side of truth????   "........................Good Friday."
