taking the words of Jesus seriously

Every Good Friday in my church we have a preach off and it was there many decades ago that the old man first did me in with those few words over and over…

“It’s Friday…and the people are saying as things have been so they will be. You can’t change things in this world…”

“It’s Friday…and they’re saying Christ is dead and it’s all over and it was a waste…”

“Oh, it may be Friday, but I’m here to give you the good news…it’s Friday, but Sunday’s coming!”

“Oh yes it’s Friday, but Sunday’s comin!!”
