Good Friday is always such a weird day. It's difficult to wrap our minds around: Why's it "good"? What was really going on? How can God die? Why didn't Jesus do something? Was it really a transaction? Did the Father forsake the Son? Did the Trinity lose a member for three days? Why did Jesus have to die? And so on.
I've come to appreciate that these tensions are better left taut than exhaustively figured out. It better typifies actual life. Words so often fall short. But other forms of expression might speak better in these times. I've found the following songs and visuals to be great focal points for a day like today.
Oh My God
A Portrait of Jesus
Why We Call It That
Any others?
