Good Friday
Isaiah 53:11

Matthew 27:45 - 66
From praise on the previous Sunday to venomous sneering.
Jesus had iron clad determination to see the plan through.
It wasn't just physical darkness. All the sin of the world was placed on Jesus' shoulders at that time.
vs 46
The weight of sin. Jesus felt separated from the Father.
Luke 23:46
Psalm 31

He didn't waver.

John 19:30

He freely gave His life for all mankind.
vs 63
The Temple curtain torn - symbolising that the Way was now open.
vs 65

It was a new tomb, so there were no other bodies.

15th
( Good Friday )

Fifteenth Day – Good Friday. The third livestream Church service. . Again, it’s rather like being at Church, except one would arrive late and leave early. This is probably still going to be the most difficult aspect of the pandemic to deal with. Although it was a good service, with the message being about the reason for the season – that Jesus died for us, to take our sins, so that we may be forgiven. And if there is no grape juice, or grapes, in the house for Communion, squeezing juice out of an orange will definitely do in a pinch.
What matters is the heart intention as one takes the elements. Not being at the Zoo to help with the overwhelming crowds is fine (as the Zoo is closed for the duration).
