Description

Stepping away from my fantasy works for a moment.
I'm doing some pieces for Good Friday.
This is at the heart of me.

I always found it a little funny that the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, while the day Christ was tortured and killed is Good Friday.

No preaching, just a thought:
Truth is, and seriously, it was good. For those that accept the sacrifice God-incarnate made that day it is a blessing - the ultimate blessing - for which I give thanks.
In these times, where this kind of punishment is not well known in most places, where we are complacent and comforted and full of ourselves and our "intelligence" we cannot fully appreciate nor understand what the pain and suffering, the beating, flogging, ripping of flesh is. Nor do we know the reality of the piercing, stretching, suffocating agony of crucifixion.
For a mere man to go through a full day of such torment, when he could not be recognised as the same person at the end, would surely break the mind of any irrational or "insane" thought where they claimed to be doing this for all mankind. Only the power of God and His Love, to take human form and feel as His children do and die as they do - when having lived a life clear of breaking the laws He Himself set down - is capable of bearing such immense suffering.
It can boggle the mind. . . . but it doesn't mine. :)
