Good Friday Cross & St. John the Baptist Church
The devastating fire at St. John the Baptist Church, May 29th last year may have felt like Good Friday to many people; that something precious and close to our hearts was being devastated and lost.
When the first disciples surrounded Jesus on the way to Jerusalem and gathered with Him in the garden, there must have been a foreboding sense that something was wrong. Those who stood at the foot of the cross – seeing his pain and anguish – probably felt that his mission had failed; His presence in the world was being extinguished; that His works were being snuffed out and His message and life were being destroyed. And yet, we know that Good Friday led to Easter Joy and new life.
