The most honest question you can ask yourself on Good Friday is also the most uncomfortable: if you stood before God right now and He asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would you say? If your answer starts with “I tried,” “I was better than,” or “I did my best,” you’re not alone. That instinct is the default setting of the human heart, and it’s exactly why the cross of Jesus can sound like foolishness until grace finally breaks through.  

Then we sit with the thief on the cross, the man who brought nothing to the table and still heard Jesus say, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” No baptism. No Bible. No time to fix his past. Just one qualification: the man in the middle cross said he could come. We also connect this truth to real life, especially marriage and family conflict, where blame and bitterness grow when everything stays in the first person. 

If you want a faith grounded in forgiveness, repentance, and the finished work of Christ, press play. Subscribe, share this with someone who’s tired of striving, and leave a review so more people can find this Good Friday message.

Father Speak a Word Gregorios Amartolos A different way to do philosophy and theology with the Desert Fathers and Mothers. Isaac Bickerstaff, Physician and Astrologer by Richard Steele (1672 - 1729) LibriVox Isaac Bickerstaff Esq. was a pseudonym used by Jonathan Swift as part of a hoax to predict the death of then famous Almanac-maker and astrologer John Partridge. In 1709, Richard Steele bolstered the release of his new satirical paper The Tatler by naming the fictitious Isaac Bickerstaff Esq. as editor. These are fictional essays/memoirs of Bickerstaff, written by Steele. Isaac writes from his time, and his personal things on what was going on. Bickerstaff, or rather Richard Steele, talks mostly about Mr. Bickerstaff's friends, his family, and the many different entertainments that Bickerstaff goes through. Bickerstaff also gets many opportunities to talk to people who are in trouble with their spouse or maybe looking for a partner, and so Bickerstaff plays the role of a father, giving advice to many characters throughout the book.
