Pilate
handed Jesus over to be crucified.
They
took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place
called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
There
they crucified Him, and with Him, two other men, one on either side, and Jesus
in between.
Pilate
also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, “JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING
OF THE JEWS.”
John
19:16-19
They
showed no mercy when they crucified Jesus.
Little did they know that the events of that day would shake the world.
We believe that Jesus did not just
die that day, He died for all our sins so we could be united in fellowship with
God. Though we mourn Jesus’ horrible
death, we rejoice knowing the cross was not the end; it was the beginning
because Jesus rose from the grave, defeating death once and for all; so, even
when we breathe our last breath, we will not be gone forever, we will simply be
present in a better place.
Good
Friday, is good.
