Good Friday: His Punishment, Our Peace

Good Friday is very different than a funeral. At a funeral, while we celebraet the blessings of someone's earthly life, we mourn the fact of their death. Their death is something we wish we could forget. In the case of Jesus, his death is the very thing we gatehr to celebrate and remember. In fact, we prolong the remembrance. We dwell on the details. We even call this day "good." For we know why Jesus willingly endured the agony of the cross. It wasn't a tragic miscarriage of justice. Jesus suffered this punishment vicariously. He was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our inequities. Because he did, we are now right with our holy God. Jesus' punishment is our peace.
