GOOD FRIDAY THOUGHT 3/21/08

Today I join what must have been billions of men and women since the year 33 A.D. who ponder and bear witness to the torture and murder of our Lord. 
 
It is a day of contradictions — of utter darkness … leading directly to the brightest of light; of total and complete failure … leading directly to the greatest of all victories; of the worst day in the history of mankind … leading directly to the greatest day that ever was; of hopeless despair … leading  directly to wondrous joy and hope.
 
Thank you, Lord. — jri
