Good Friday: The Meaning of the Cross

Many people wonder, and even become angry, about God’s ways. In this video for Good Friday, Fr. Mike explains why God’s answers often seem like contradictions to us. While Jesus dying on the Cross makes no sense according to human wisdom, according to God’s perfect wisdom​,​ the Cross answers all our most burning questions in a way only God can answer them.

Another answer i once heard a preacher give (on a radio program) to the question of "why doesn't God just get rid of all the evil in the world?" was, "if He did then He might start with you." Again reminding us that nobody's perfect...

Just sitting here and weeping as I watch the end of this.  I lost my son 11 years ago and every time I think I'm over my anger at God, it comes creeping back in.  Thank you for this, on this Good Friday.

I could listen to Father Mike for hours. Bless you Sir!

I was saved just 2 years ago and this is my first time watching this. I have tears in my eyes, thank you Jesus for the cross! Jesus is The Messiah and bore God's wrath, took the punishment WE deserved and out of His grace and mercy, we are saved through what Jesus did for us on the cross and believe in what He said.. "It is finished." Thank you Jesus! 🤍

So true.
When my son was a teenager and my heart would break with his unfair trials, I often thought “if Mary could be at the cross And if she had the strength to watch her precious baby/son of God, I have to be strong do my son.” It worked; every time. So many lessons upon lessons at the foot of the cross!

Thank you Fr. Mike. I thank God for you and this channel that you have created. It's a blessing to everyone in the world irrespective of denominations. Thank you for sharing your Godly wisdom, knowledge and discernment.

God is Love. I think this life is filled with pitfalls, and getting back up is what makes us stronger. It's also a lesson in the balance of things. Think about it... you can't know what love is unless you've experienced hate. You can't have good without evil, joy without despair, happiness without saddness.What makes us human are these experiences in life and how we learn to balance. God is love, hope, faith, peace, joy. Love to all who believe in God, and know that Jesus is our savior!! Rejoice in his word.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that so ever believes in Him will have eternal life

[ceciliamye]

Lord thank you for the gift of life. Thank you for all you have done for us. May we continue to trust in you and direct us in all our ways.

I am undergoing cancer treatment and it is very challenging at times. Sometimes I think why me. But thinking about the cross and understanding it’s true meaning makes my pain bearable. I trust you God and put all
my faith in you🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks Fr. Mike, this is so relevant here in 2020 in the midst of the virus.

[JindyMarie]

Do not remove Christ in the cross in your life. Because you will always have a cross. You'll always have pain. And if we remove Christ in the cross from our lives, we won't not have a cross, we will always have pain, but we won't have Him. Hold on to the cross.
-this was powerful!!

I love you Jesus, thank you for being the Lamb of God
