The Good in Good Friday
Good Friday. What is good about it? On the surface it appears to be the most monumental miscarriage of justice in all of history. It gives new meaning to cruel and inhumane. So we cry out, “What is good about this?!” But if you are a Christian, you have had your sight restored, and have…
