One of my all-time
favorite
B.C. comic strips has two guys
talking.
“I hate the term Good Friday,”
says one.
“Why?” says the other
guy.
“My Lord was hanged on a tree
that day,” the first guy replies.
“But if you were going to be
hanged on that day,” his friend says, “and He volunteered to take
your place, how would you feel?”
“Good,” the first guy
replies.
And there it is. Today marks the
greatest act of love in the history of the universe: “he was
pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds
we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
Today on very a special
BreakPoint podcast, we air four of Chuck Colson’s classic
BreakPoint commentaries reflecting on Good Friday and Easter
Sunday, the day that, as he said, tells “the truth about
everything.”
