Good, what is good?

Good Friday. Only God is good, said Jesus to the rich young ruler. What is good about today? Our payment has been made. We owe nothing now. Can we accept this grace? It is difficult for me to even accept a gift from a friend. (But you are welcome to let me try). The miracle of God is that He paid our debt for us. Many have trouble with that because they don't realize they owe a debt. That is a true hurdle we must cross. The events of that day 2,000 years ago are quite brutal and disturbing. If Pilate found nothing wrong with Jesus, why did he have him flogged. Why did the crowd yelling crucify him leave in sorrow afterwards (Lk23:48). Even the Roman commander had a change of heart. Do we? Do we really? Or is this just another day for us.
