Good Friday.
The story of the last days of Jesus was filled with Betrayal, Regrets and Remorse.
Judas, supposedly a trusted disciple, led the Roman soldiers to Jesus and had Him captured. It was an act of betrayal. Later, Judas was so remorseful that he threw away his reward and hung himself.
Peter acted bravely and drew his sword to protect Jesus. But it was false bravery because he did not turn his sword against the Roman soldiers, but only hurt the high priest's slave. It was a cock's crow that reminded Peter that he denied Jesus 3 times at the most critical moments. Peter cried bitterly. He regretted his human weakness, his act of betrayal. He was remorseful.
Foolishness, human weakness and temptation, regret and remorse - these emotions were fully played out -- just like the scripts of popular TV shows and movies.
Aren't these emotions what we experience in life?
Jesus was human just like us. He experienced these emotional pain, just like us.
Thank you Jesus for being human, for the passion on Good Friday, and for rising from the dead on Easter. All these, You did it for us.
