Topic: The Adversity Of Jesus..From Ugliness to Beauty

Good Friday, the ironic name given to the day Christ died was the darkest day in human history. The day Christ died was the darkest day in human history because of what humans did. In truth and awesome wonder Easter is the really good day. Easter is the brightest day in human history, not because of what human beings did, but in spite of what they did. Easter is the brightest day in human history because of what God did. Some of us who believe and who accept Christ as Savior and Lord come to a spiritual place in our life where we gather in awesome and solemn wonder before Him. We also wonder about how people can see Christ's death and not respond. We wonder how people can see Christ's death and not show something. We wonder how people can see Christ's death and not let the solemn wonder show. We wonder how people can see Christ's death and not experience the fire burning in their heart to be His child. We wonder how people can see Christ's death and not be touched to repent in the deepest part of their heart and soul. If we see Christ on the Cross and we are not moved to repent and seek His forgiving grace, are we not surely dead? If we remain frozen in our deadness, Christ cannot do anything for us. We have to melt and become pliable so He can shape our lives. God took the most shameful, horrible, lowest thing human beings had ever done and used this terrible act to give the very human beings who had done this shameful, horrible, lowest thing a chance to own His most beautiful, wonderful gift…eternal life.
