really, really Good Friday

On this day roughly one-thousand, nine-hundred, eighty years ago a man claiming to be God incarnate, the creator of all things, submitted himself to multiple illegal trials without complaint, took a beating without grumbling or cursing, and asked forgiveness for those that put large spikes through his wrists and feet. No one took his life, he gave it.

From that cross this man, Jesus of Nazareth, shouted "tetelestai", declaring his purpose accomplished and payment complete. Not only did he rise from the dead 3 days later, but he will come again and establish a kingdom without any injustice.
