The Irony of Good Friday! by Furbish(m): 7:42am On Apr 02, 2021
What's Good About Good Friday?


We might not understand the hidden truth about the day humanity will never forget unless we appreciate the following sublime truths


A day heralded by callous betrayal. A kiss, an epic betrayal!

The day the Messiah lost an election to a criminal. A day the world identified with its own.

Don't forget, a week earlier, he was gloriously welcomed with shouts of "Hossana" because he came blessed in the name of the Lord. Healed the sick, raised the dead, and performed several miracles amongst them, yet on Good Friday they shouted "Crucify" him
Don't you wonder "Where were the blinds and crippled that He healed?"

A day of blood covenant, a day Israel's peace was forever wished away their leaders
"I have no hand in this man's blood"-Pilate
"Let his blood be upon us and upon our children"-Leaders of the Jews.
Till today, Israel knows no peace!


A day of an epic "Cock Crow
A day of palpable fear and fierce denial by a once brave and bossom friend of a sinless Master! Even a brave Peter cringed before a little girl and denied not just his Master and Lord, but he cursed profusely! And for a fulfilment of his last prophecy, "kukuuuruuuuukuuuu!!!!!!......"


A day of blood, the day "it was Finished"
His assignment done! His mission accomplished! His blooded sacrifice completely offered!

A day the Holy of holies became visible
Immediately he gave up the ghost, there was an earthquake, thunderings, voices heard, and then most spectacularly, the veil between the temple concealing the unseen became visible, because it was torn twine by an unseen hand.

A day of the Ultimate Confessions
"We deserve what we get, but this man has done nothing wrong" "Remember me when you get to your Father's Kingdom" - Thief on the left
"This was the Son of God" -Keen observer!



Perspectives

Mission of Christ's Sacrifice perfected.
Human depravity gleefully displayed
Blood of the Son of God was shed
Man can now access God without any further sacrifice but through an only mediator Jesus who paid the ultimate price!

Hallelujah!


What's your take? Do you think it was a good day?

Oh, Christ worshipers! We want an answer to our question from your wise.

If the Lord was murdered by some people’s act…what sort of god is this?

We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him? If yes,
blessed be they..they achieved the pleasure of His

But if He was discontented….this means their power subjugated His!!

Was the whole entity left without a Sustainer… so who answered the prayers?

Were the heavens vacated…when He laid under the ground somewheres?

Were all the worlds left without a God…to manage while His hands were nailed?

Why did not the angles help Him when they heard him while he wailed?

How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord when He was fastened

How could the iron reach Him and His body pinioned?

How could His enemies’ hands reach Him and slap His rear

And was Christ revived by himself…or the Reviver was another god?

What a sight it is!A grave that enclosed a god!
What’s more weird is the belly that had Him in it!

He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness…fed by blood!

Then he got out of the womb as a small baby,
weak and gaping to be breastfed!

He ate and drank, and did what that naturally resulted in
Is this a god??!!

High Exalted be Allah above the lies of Christians
All of them will be held accountable for their libels

Oh cross worshipers…for what reason is it exalted
and blamed who rejects it?

Is it not the logic to break and burn it along with the one who innovated it?

Since the Lord was crucified on it…and his hands were fastened to it?

That is really a cursed cross to carry…so discard it
Don’t kiss it!

The Lord was abused on it…and you adore it?
So you are one of His enemies!!

If you extol it because it carried the Lord of the worlds

why don’t you prostrate yourself and worship graves,

since the grave contained your god in it?

So, Christ worshiper, open your eyes,
this is what the matter is all about.
