Jesus crucifixion is one of betrayal. Denial. Cowardice. Envy. Hate. Brutality. Suffering. Despair. Defeat. Death.
Yet, Christians celebrate the cross because the story does not end on that fateful Friday. It does not end at the cross. The irony of the cross was the very instrument Jesus' enemies used to defeat Him became His greatest victory. Little did they know when Friday ended what would happen on Sunday to change the course of the world's history.
And so in the spirit of this theme, I want to share a part of that famous sermon by Lockridge. As you read this, just remember that regardless of what today brings. Regardless of today's problems. Challenges. Or defeats. Just remember that Sunday's coming! And that you will enjoy the privilege of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Communing with Him and fellow saints. And beginning a new week with renewed vision, vigor and vitality.
I know it's Friday. But thanks be to God that Sunday's coming!

Thank you for posting it.
What is the day between
Good Friday and Easter Sunday called?
Holy Saturday. It’s the day Jesus descended into hell to tell all of the people they have been saved & to follow him to Heaven to meet their father.

Is that you way of disagreeing? 😋
Cardinal Dolan’s sentiments as well.
