Every Day is Good Friday

Today is Good Friday, the day people remember the death of Jesus. They bring it to mind. It has not really been on their radar, but this day reminds them. It is like Martin Luther King Day. We honor it, but his death, as tragic as it was, is not on our daily radar. But for Christians, every day is Good Friday. Every day we wake up and declare that we are dead, we have died with Jesus in His death. We do this to remind ourselves that our life before Christ, everything we were in this world and in the flesh, is gone. This is who/what we were in Adam. Jesus' resurrection is also ours. We are new creations, God's own children. Family. We are members of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, the people God holds dear. If we live this reality, our daily Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, then we live in the power and presence of the Spirit, a life that exudes the fragrance of Christ. Happy Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, no matter what day you are reading this.
