Poetry
I’ve always found it hard somehow
to think of this day as “good”.
It’s seems to contradict good sense,
I’ve just never quite understood.
What’s good about the betrayal,
the denial, trial and cross?
What’s good about the whippings
and the painful sense of loss?
Nothing! Absolutely nothing
can be good about such things.
Yet still we’ve called this Friday “good”
for at least two thousand Springs.
I guess it’s the stuff of paradox,
like how the Spirit’s breath
calls gaining forth from losing
and life from the tomb of death.
What’s so good about “Good Friday”?
Certainly not the choices we made.
But this day will forever and ever be good
'cause of all the love Jesus gave!
