Sometimes when I see the things some people do, the lies, the betrayal, the way they deliberately try to hurt others, I begin to wonder why Jesus would lay down His life for people like this. Because the level of wickedness you see in some human beings even the devil will struggle to compete. People go out of their way to destroy someone’s name, block opportunities, spread lies, and create problems where there was peace. And many times, these same people will still smile with you, greet you warmly, and pretend everything is fine. But behind your back, they are doing everything possible to bring you down.
This is why Good Friday is deep, if you really think about it. Jesus knew the kind of people the world was full of. He knew people would lie, betray, deny, and still act innocent. Yet, He still chose to lay down His life. Good Friday is a reminder that even in a world full of hate, betrayal, and wickedness, good still chose to die for bad, and mercy still chose to speak over judgment. So sometimes, instead of asking why people are wicked, just remember that grace exists not because people are good, but because God is merciful. Happy Good Friday.
