Are you having a Good Friday?
A Good Friday.
Today I ate the first Crunchie on a Friday for the first time in possibly...at least since the last time I was in England...so...maybe December. I used to eat a Crunchie (a chocolate bar) on every Friday for a while as a student due to an advert that was around in the 1990's: Get that Friday Feeling.
Today I went to the cinema with my school for the first time. It was organised chaos. Mum's and Dad's arriving to escort the kids to the cinema, children bundled in to cars and away we went! Loved it though, hopefully some good teaching points can come from it....especially about the conservation of the Amazon.
Today is the 3rd Good Friday I didn't set foot in a church.
Today is the day many Christian denominations commemorate the day God died.
God died. That's huge right.
I read an article explaining how Good Friday is the 'day we forget to remember'...but I disagree. Christianity is in itself the remembrance of Good Friday. Christianity exists because of the crucifixion. If the crucifixion hadn't happened then the resurrection wouldn't have followed and the writers who wrote the Gospels would have had nothing to write about. Paul* wouldn't have traveled around a bit, got tortured and what-not and started the 'early church'...whatever that refers to.
However, although I believe everyday is both Good Friday and Easter Sunday I do think it is good to unite everyone in a day that commemorates explicitly how God died. God has His ways of getting through to people and maybe this Good Friday is that day for you - only God knows.
