Chris Rose - We Do Hope
I often try to avoid churches on Good Friday. Too often the focus of the day is on the brutality of Jesus death and how ‘my sins’ put him on the cross. Fair enough, but that misses so much. For the events of Good Friday, also remind us that: each time we support someone in need, each time we stand up for an ideal , each time we speak out against injustice or seek to prevent people from destroying our planet, we stop people from knowing what it means to be forsaken.
