That Friday

That Friday

That Friday long ago,
The one which he knew how it would end, that was prophesized by others before him,
The one which left his friends scared, lost, and confused,
Even though he had foretold to them what would happen the night before.

That Friday long ago,
The one that wouldn’t be ignored, the one that couldn’t be denied,
The one that left a void, only to be filled 2 days later,
It changed the world, and will forever be remembered.

That Friday long ago,
The one that ended on the cross,
The one that paid the price for our transgressions,
The son of God, made flesh to walk among us, ended his time on earth.

That Friday long ago,
The one that John wrote of,
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

That Friday long ago
