Sermon Series: Special Services      Speaker: Pastor Josh Sherrell   __________   Description: We may not wrestle with the question of what is so ‘good’ about Good Friday. On this side of the cross, it may seem like a silly question. But our present hope in future glory that was accomplished on the cross and in the resurrection of Jesus was all but clear on that day. On that day, the weight of sin and the power of the grave seemed too heavy to bear. The hope of glory, the hope of the kingdom come, the hope of salvation from sin seemed to be snuffed out as the one they called Messiah suffered and died on a cross.   __________    Main Idea: It is only in the resurrection that we can see the goodness of the suffering and crucifixion of Christ.   __________    I.
