As most Christians celebrate Good Friday (and some who say the date is wrong kind of ignore it), we are nevertheless reminded of what actually happened that day. What were the events and the motives that make this a special weekend, and what we call Good Friday? Was it actually good?
If we allow the words of Christ to frame our picture of God, we must accept that God is just like Jesus, full of love, compassion, mercy, who was never angry or vengeful toward sinners, but who was crying with them, healing them and offering them a place in the kingdom next to Him and the Father.
He who hung the earth in place is hanged.
He who fixed the heavens in place is fixed in place.
He who made all things fast is made fast on a tree.
The Sovereign is insulted.
God is murdered.
