It is Good Friday.
Jesus refused to fight back. He let evil come at him with all its force. He was accused of crimes he never committed. He was betrayed by one of his best students. He was deserted by all his other followers. His mom looked on, powerless to help. People of his faith accused him of betraying the faith, or anything else that would stick. They took him to the occupying enemy, now accusing him of treason. In that court he was condemned by a judge who knew he was innocent. He was beaten and mocked.
He was given the death penalty.
Good Friday is the day of his defeat.
Jesus absorbed all the evil this world could muster. And he turned it all around for good.
