    Good Friday. What was so 'good?' Unless we first realize how 'bad' it could have been for us, we will never fully grasp the 'good.'

    Does it bother you that God is Just and Holy? It bothers most people. They want to determine what is right or wrong based on what they think is right or wrong.
