Good Friday isn’t about the universal virtue of “sacrifice.” It’s about Christ’s particular sacrifice - his brutal crucifixion - a real, historic event with eternal consequences.
“[Jesus], being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”
On this Good Friday, let’s all solemnly remember Christ’s propitiatory sacrifice and glorify Him.

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.
