GOOD FRIDAY

Today is the day Jesus died nailed to the cross.
On the third day, Easter, he rose from the dead.

As He hung on the cross He said "I'm thirsty." A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so a sponge was soaked in it and put on a hyssop branch and held up to His lips.
When Jesus had tasted it, He said "It is finished," and bowed His head and dismissed His spirit.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone was rolled aside from the entrance.

Mary was standing outside crying. And as she wept, she stooped and looked in and saw two white-robed angels sitting at the head and foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying.
"Why are you crying?" the angels asked her.
"Because they have taken away my Lord," she replied, "and I don't know where they have put Him."
She glanced over her shoulder and saw someone standing behind her. It was Jesus, but she did not recognize Him!
"Why are you crying?" He asked her. "Whom are you looking for?" She thought He was the gardener. "Sir," she said, "if you have taken Him away, tell me where you have put Him, and I will go and get Him."
"Mary!" Jesus said. She turned toward Him.
"Master!" she exclaimed.
"Do not touch me He cautioned, "for I have not yet ascended to the Father, my God, and your God.
