"O sorrow dread.
Our God is dead"
And we are the reason for this
journey.
He
said, “I thirst”, and when He had drunk, He said, “It is finished” and “Father into
Thy hands I commit my spirit” “And having said that, He gave up the ghost.”.
John 24,46.
Just
before Christ died, He said, “It is finished” John 19,30.
He
wanted us to know that the work the Father had sent Him to do, suffering and dying
for the sins of the world, that work, was fully and completely done.
That is why we call it “Good Friday”. It shows how it ended, with a payment for our sin, done, finished, complete. So there is nothing left for us to do except believe that “By grace you have
been saved and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God, not of works, lest
any man should boast.” Ephesians 2, 8.9.
So
“O sorrow dread,
Our God Is dead”
And we rejoice because of Good Friday.
