Thoughts of Good Friday

Good Friday, probably the most hopeless day that ever occurred in history, especially for Jesus' Apostles. Have you ever thought about how they must have felt? In a few hours, their whole world as they knew it came crashing down. The man that they had followed and believed in for three years was condemned to die. My thoughts would be mostly wondering about what would happen next. Would He manage to avoid the death sentence? What would happen if He did? If He didn't? Where will I go now? What will I do? Will I be next on the cross? Probably this would have been the scariest day in the Apostles lives. We are so blessed to live now, and to be able to look back on this day, knowing that it all turns out better then any story ever could. We can look at the Cross with the hope that comes with knowing that it couldn't last. If only we always looked at everything this way, with the hope that comes from knowing that no matter what happens, no matter how we hurt or how much is taken away from us, we will someday meet again in heaven, and that can never be taken away by anyone, not even the Devil himself.
