Good Friday Reflection:
​By Major Graham Bailey

This Good Friday is so different, all plans gone, normal life not happening and yet, in amongst all this, an opportunity for all of us to spend the time to think again on the sacrifice of Jesus – let’s take advantage of this time to really connect with the report of the events that took place that day. We think these days in which we are living at the moment are significant and memorable – yet these events are part of the most pivotal weekend in the history of the world!

Song:  Salvation Army Song Book 208 - When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Prayer: It is Finished

​The procession begun in triumph with shouts of acclamation. Hosanna, Hosanna! has ended
with cries of condemnation. Crucify, crucify! It is finished.

The king has become a slave,
power and wealth conquered
by the One who washes feet in love,
and dies the death of outcasts. It is finished.

The transformation is complete,
and in this story lies my hope.
From death springs forth new life
The seeds of Christ buried in my heart
will see resurrection light. It is finished.

Make of us your new creation Lord.
Nourish the soil, raise us up transformed.
May we remember the ways you loved.
From death of self.

Let us live to love and serve and share.
Let your life be multiplied in us
to become fruit for our hurting world.
Amen
