Bishop Robert Wright Meditations

Good Friday is about God deciding to be God in a very particular way. God doesn’t use God’s Almighty-ness to rescue Jesus from fearful clergy, betraying friends, cruel soldiers or even the lynching tree. Rather than rescue and spare, God more often shows up in and goes through situations with God’s people. Through indignity. Through infirmity. Through death. Let us be reintroduced to the “in” and “through” God.” When we renew our vows to live as baptized people, we respond at each invitation, “I will with God’s help.” Maybe this Friday take some time to reflect on exactly how this God prefers to help. Always along side. Always going through with us. Preferring faith over certainty. Always exerting Almighty-ness as quiet and as intriguing as a whisper.
“Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.”

Good Friday for many of us is the start of the 3 most sacred days of the Christian life. But what makes Good Friday good? As Christians, we know that the fear, betrayal, and cruelty Jesus endured marks the beginning of the greatest story ever told. We know that Jesus died so that we can live as people of the resurrection.
In this episode, Matt and Bishop Wright have a conversation about Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. During these difficult times our world faces, where do we see resurrection in the midst of sadness and death? For responses to these questions and more, listen in and be encouraged.
