Jesus was beaten. He was bruised and He was crucified
on the cross.
The cross is an interesting thing. It was invented as a
means of torture, execution and death sentence. It was designed to express a
painful, disgraceful, shameful, death. It was a symbol of hopelessness and
punishment.
Today the cross is a symbol of hope, forgiveness and
new life. Today, on this Good Friday, as
we look at the cross we ask ourselves: Why we use a cross on our neck, at the
doorway, etc.? And what was accomplished on the cross?
Look at Jesus who was rejected and condemned by his own
people; betrayed and denied by his own disciples and friends; and led to the
death of a criminal. No one can go through a greater suffering like Jesus.
Today, look at Jesus on the cross and say to Him, “Thank you Jesus, you did it for me. I will
never forget it”.
