Therefore,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also
lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us
run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to
Jesus the pioneer and perfector of our faith, Who for the sake of the
joy that was set before Him endured the cross, disregarding its
shame, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
(NRSV-CE)
On
this Good Friday, meditate on Jesus, enduring the cross, unashamed,
looking ahead to the joy of our salvation, longing to open Heaven to
us that we may shed our sin, run the race of
faith,
and gather around Him as part of the great cloud of witnesses. Then,
simply thank our Savior for His amazing love.
