It is through entering in to the pain of Good Friday that I am able to experience the joy of Easter.
In looking into the hopelessness of Jesus' followers on Friday night and Saturday, I recognize how the hope of Easter transforms all of life.
In stopping to really think about Jesus' sacrifice, I am amazed and overwhelmed by His grace.
I am so grateful for the special time set aside to remember Jesus' death and resurrection. I am thankful that through the pain and the struggles we know the end of the story and the hope and joy of Easter.
