A six year old ask his mother. In continuing he said, what happened to Jesus was really bad. so what is good about Good Friday Mom?
This was part of a conversation I had with a young mother today, as we are both off this Friday which is Good Friday.
I remembered during this conversation something my wife told me a few weeks ago, after she and My 11 year old son returned from their trip, visiting one of our older sons and his family. She told me that there was a time during the visit that our son had done something bad that would normally justify some kind of punishment. In which she asked him what he thought his punishment should be. After a few of his suggestions, she said; What if I WOULD TAKE YOUR PUNISHMENT for YOU.
He said no Mom I wouldn’t want you to do that. Then she said; that is what Jesus did for us. He took the punishment and died on the cross for the wrongs of all of us. Which in my mind makes “Good Friday” Good!
