#GoodFriday! Friday is the road to Sunday

Good Friday is the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus, but there’s more to it than remembering; our task as preachers is to call people to the Cross.

We want to embrace the resurrection, but Jesus calls us to the Cross, too. The famous sermon says, “It’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming!” More properly, the point of the story is that Friday is the road to Sunday.

There’s no Easter Sunday without Good Friday. There is no resurrection without the Cross. Our job is to tell the truth to His people: There’s a Good Friday for all of us.
