The whole point of a messiah was that they would come in power and might and defeat the oppressor.
The whole point of the messiah was that they would become the king.
The whole point of a messiah was that they did not end up humiliated, tortured and murdered on a Roman cross.
For Jesus’ followers, Good Friday was the day that it all went wrong. Everything they had given their lives to for the last three years was crumbling before their eyes. Jesus was not the messiah after all…
Except…
…Good Friday was actually the day that the revolution began.
…Good Friday was actually the day when death was defeated.
…Good Friday was actually the day that Jesus was victorious over the oppressive powers.
…Good Friday was actually the day when Jesus was crowned king.
But no one knew it…
