Good Friday in a Gallery
Pain. Suffering. Humiliation. Punishment.
What is so good about Good Friday?
Jesus’ crucifixion on the cross was not a punishment. He willingly accepted this pain and humiliation because He knew it would lead to the salvation of all who believe in Him.
Jesus loved us enough to suffer and die for us.
What is your understanding? What is your response? In this gallery, we reframe what we know through the lens of 4 Bible characters of Good Friday - the voices of Adoration, Doubt, Denial & Faith.

The Voices
Mary
Voice of Adoration
At Jesus' feet, I lay down who I was and embraced His forgiveness. He allowed me to wash His feet with my tears and wipe them with my hair. It broke my heart seeing my Lord at the cross.
Thomas
Voice of Doubt
I was pledged to my Master, ready to die for Him when I learnt that some Jews were tryong to kill Him. Yet, when I saw Jesus at the cross, my hope in Him was crushed.
Thief
Voice of Faith
I was about to die as a criminal. Yet just before my death, I decided to put all my hope and life on Jesus. I believe Him when He said I would be in paradise with Him.
Peter
Voice of Denial
I have always been zealous for my Lord. I would never deny Him. And yet I did moments before He died on the cross.
