“There Is No Greater Love…”

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15.13) 

Dear Friends,

I write to you today on Friday, April 10th. It is Good Friday. What is good about Good Friday?

Today is the day that’s observed as the day Jesus was crucified.  The day he made the greatest sacrifice: to lay down his life for his friends, and for the world.

Today I am praying in gratefulness for the many such good and selfless people in our society, all over the world during the covid-19 pandemic who are giving their lives, risking their lives to help others, who so often they don’t even know.

Could I do this? Could you? I don’t know. But these are the people who uplift our world. They are shining points of light on the horizon of this world who lead us to become better versions of ourselves, whatever we may be.

Victor Frankl said that in some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of sacrifice.

 Today on this Good Friday, can we be inspired to be more good than we have been?

Be safe, be well, and be blessed,
