A blessed Good Friday and Passover to you! This year, these two holy days intersect purposefully and beautifully.
As you listen to Seven Cries in the Dark, our special Good Friday reflection from Bel Air Church in Los Angeles, quiet your heart and still your mind. Rest in your Savior, the Passover Lamb, who takes away the sin of the world and gives new life to all who would believe and receive. You’ll soon rediscover what makes Good Friday amazingly good.
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many (Matthew 27:51-53 NKJV).
Can you just imagine experiencing that—the veil torn in two, a great earthquake, and those you thought were dead now suddenly alive again? Fear, confusion, joy—all three at once? And then to hear the centurion say, “Truly this was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54).
