Today is Good Friday, and I have some questions.
God,
What did You feel on Good Friday all those years ago?
Did You feel angry?
Did You feel sad?
Did You feel reckoning?
Did You feel justified?
Did You feel love?
Did You feel hope?
Did You feel victory?
Did You feel loss?
Did You feel pain?
Did You feel anything at all?
Do You feel?
Christ,
What is it like to care so much that You sweat blood?
Did You feel scared? If so, why?
Did You know what you were going into?
Did You feel angry?
Did You feel let down?
Did You feel alone?
Did You know you would win?
Did You see good in us, despite our bad?
Spirit,
Where were you this day all those years ago?
Did you abandon us?
Did you give us strength?
Did you pray for us?
Did you ever leave Jesus?
Did you see what happened?
These are some of the questions I have today. Some are old, some are new. One day, maybe they can be answered because today happened, all those years ago.
