What’s so good about Good Friday? I mean - you always hear people say I can’t wait for Friday! But you don’t really hear anyone say I can’t wait for GOOD FRIDAY? It’s TGIF but never TGIGF? So what’s so good about Good Friday?
This morning we’re looking at a conversation that Jesus has on the night before His crucifixion that gives us probably the deepest look into Jesus own inner life experience and motivation. It's a conversation He has with God that sheds a lot of light on what’s so Good About Good Friday and let’s us in on WHY and HOW He died as well as helping us TRUST that He will will not let go of us NO MATTER WHAT.
Jesus taking the “cup” of agony in the garden and suffering on the cross - did not make Him give up on us. So nothing ever will. This is perfect love. It’s bombproof love. It’s the love that the New Testament writers referred to when they wrote “Nothing can separate us from the love of the Messiah.” It’s the love at the foundation of Jesus promise to never leave us.
