"And so we call this Friday good"
Beautiful insights into Isaiah and Good Friday from Peter J. Leithart of Trinity Reformed Church in Moscow, Idaho.
"Spreading plagues is nothing. Any terrorist with a supply of anthrax can do that. You can knock down buildings with a wrecking ball or a hijacked airplane. It takes infinite power, though, to share Zion’s sin and sickness, absorb the blows of Zion’s rejection and hatred, bear evil all the way to death, and burst out the other side of the grave. How can you defeat a God who transfigures rejection into reconciliation, who choreographs a pageant of injustice into the salvation of the world?
"And so we call this Friday good."
