Good Friday:  Jesus took all the weight of our sin and carried it to the cross.  How awesome is that?  The struggle for life and yet the surrender to death.  Jesus once said that no one could take his life from him, but he had to lay it down, and that He did.  One revelation from the crucifixion is how Jesus died so quickly compared to most crucified people.  He had been beaten so badly, it is not much of a stretch to think that He did not even give up a fight when having his hands nailed to the tree.  The criminals hanging beside had to have their legs broken to expedite the dying process...  Jesus had already given up His Spirit.  The passion week falls silent now.  Saturday the people are dealing with betrayal, humanity, sin and need for restoration.  Many are totally undone with confusion. 

Sunday is coming.
