A great light dawns in Galilee Some say mad man Some say King Wonder working rebel priest Jesus Christ the Nazarene

He knew well what it would take To free us all from sin and grave A perfect man would have to die And only He could pay that price

Good Friday

The more you think about it, the worse it gets.

No part of the Passion Gospel, the Gospel for Good Friday, has any hope.

Even the tender moments – Jesus asking John to take care of his mother, Joseph and Nicodemus making sure that Jesus has a proper burial – they’re just people dealing with the fallout from death.

You know what Joseph and Nicodemus are thinking about while they’re wrapping Jesus’ body up for burial? How much this sucks.

And whether the Romans will stop at killing Jesus. Or will they, and other followers of Jesus, be next?

The more you think about it, the worse it gets.

You know what Joseph and Nicodemus aren’t thinking about? How anything good can come from this.

Much less how God is already using all of it to do more good than either of them, or anyone on Good Friday, could ever imagine.

And yet, you and I know, that’s exactly what’s happening. Because you and I know something that Joseph and Nicodemus don’t know. Not on that worst of Friday’s.

They don’t know that Sunday is coming.

But that’s how it is, when you’re where they are. When you are right in the middle of the very worst.

When you and I are right in the middle of the very worst, there is nothing that human eyes can see to tell us that it’s ever going to get any better.

When that’s where you are, the only open question is whether it’s going to get worse.

In the middle of everything that you are dealing with right now – whether it’s death or illness, divorce or the end of a friendship, job loss or financial problems – while you’re waiting to see whether you’ve hit bottom or if it’s going to get worse. You get Joseph and Nicodemus. You are right there with them.

The more you think about what you’re dealing with, the worse it gets.

There’s nothing that our human eyes can see to tell us that anything good can come from what you’re going through.

And yet, you and I know, that’s not true.

Because you and I know something. Something that’s easy to lose sight of when you’re in the middle. Something that’s hard to hold onto when you’re scared.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s okay if we lose sight of it. Because it’s still true. Even if we’re scared. 

Today is Good Friday. And Good Friday shows us that none of it, not even the very worst, can hold down our God.

Because Sunday is coming.

Yesterday ended up being a strong core memory for me when it comes to Soul Mate.

Interestingly, I know it's a big deal but its impact is not as strong as some of the "less significant" moments. I guess that means I care less or expect it so it's not as meaningful as it previously would have been?

He was so busy we didn't really talk throughout the day despite being together. I was mostly annoyed we didn't get in our usual walk but he was so apologetic.

We'd also had a good trek home the day before where we got in some good laughs and I could see the fond emanating from him, so much so that it stunned me as I looked at his face.

Anyways, I waited for his day to end to travel home and then we saw there were transit issues. The last time this happened he paid for our Uber. Remembering this, I was going to pay this time and pulled out the app, but he wanted to see if we could make transit work so we got in our walk and had a new adventure together. It was fun.

He is definitely letting his guard down. It's surprising me how much at times.

Apparently the Zayn tour poster is fake. But here's hoping our boy goes on tour! I'm ready.
