The Apostle Paul stated,

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:23-24).

As we commemorate Good Friday today, let us reflect on the character of God underlying the crucifixion:

“As a merciful God, he pitied us; but as a holy God, he could not but hate our transgression; as a God of truth, he could not but fulfill his own threatening; as a God of justice, he must avenge himself for the offence against him. He gave Christ as a God of mercy, and required satisfaction as a God of justice.” – 17th century theologian Puritan Stephen Charnock

Remember, “It’s Friday but Sunday’s coming!”
