We usually have to go through something intense to finally reach glory and victory. Good Friday is an example of this. After being punched and smacked by soldiers and pharisees, flogged with the cat of nine tails and being sentenced to death, Jesus had to carry his cross through the city. He was shamed and given the death of a criminal. All seemed lost. The disciples had fled into hiding. He had been forsaken and abandoned by all who knew him. It appeared everything he had worked for was over. Yet in 3 days the glory of the resurrection would swallow the shame of the crucifixion. It's in our darkest hour that we are headed into glory. Some things we built in our lives have to die so that they can experience the resurrecting power of God and never be taken again. The crucifixion is painful, long and grueling but the glorious resurrection makes that a mere drop in the bucket. Go through family.
Happy Good Friday

John 3:8
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
