and we are remembering and celebrating something really unusual... betrayal, abandonment, torture, cruel death and a borrowed tomb.
Let's admit it- that's what Good Friday is all about. We don't really like to think about it in detail, but when we talk about The Blood of Jesus and The Work of the Cross that is really what we are talking about- the end result of the work of sin in the world- loneliness, pain and death.
Take some time before Sunday morning and read Matthew 27:33-61, Mark 15, Luke 23:33-56 and John 19:17-42. It helps put the celebration of the Resurrection into perspective.

I know this is a little late but read Isaiah 53:2-12. Amazing verses.
