It's Good Friday. A day that is somber, yes, and yet we excitedly anticipate what we are to celebrate in less than forty-eight hours. This day is grave and miraculous simultaneously. Christ suffered immensely before passing on the cross, but it is by this that we are granted freedom.
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.
It's also Earth Day, which I find somewhat ironic and exceedingly less important. I like the planet, I do, but it's hilarious to me that the motivation behind many an Earth Day activity is the hope that we might save the world.
Think about this with me for a second. Then laugh. It's Good Friday. It is by our acceptance of what this day signifies that the world has true hope for salvation.
Very funny indeed, I didn't think of it that way before. :)
