“A cross of all things – a guillotine, a gallows – but the cross at the same time as the  crossroad of eternity and time. as the place where such a mighty heart was broken that the healing power of God himself could flow through it into a sick and broken world. It was for this reason that of all the possible words they could have used to describe the day of his death, the word they settled on was “good.” Good Friday.” Frederick Buechner

Indeed it is good!
