John 19:1-42; Matthew 27:39-47; Luke 23:32-47, 55-56

As we gather on Good Friday, we see Jesus’ beaten, bruised, bloody body on the cross.  His body that is nailed for us.  His blood that is shed for us.  His death that is died to give us life.  Seeing what Jesus went through can create many feelings for us.  Sometimes we want to feel all those emotions.  Sometimes we don’t.  Even though we can’t begin to understand all that Jesus went through for us, we know that He did it to save us, to redeem us, to rescue us, because He loves us.  And because of His death, all the God required of Jesus to bring us forgiveness, it is finished.
