Good Friday
“…he was wounded for our
transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities…” Good Friday is a picture of the world at it’s worst. Pastor
Brian Zahnd wrote: “On Good Friday we come to the devastating
realization that our violent system of blame and collective killing is so evil
that it is capable of the murder of God. (In this sense Nietzsche was correct
in saying, “God is dead, and we have killed him.”) It’s in
the darkness of the crucifixion that we find hope, and mercy and love and liberty.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to
your abundant mercy blot out [our] transgressions.…pkes
