Today is Good Friday. Good Friday is God’s answer to separation and suffering. The blood of Jesus Christ was shed that those who were distant and far off may be brought near to God. Every longing that we are experiencing is a gift from God to each us of the greater longing that groans in the hearts of all peoples; to be reconciled to God. This sermon was preached in isolation…from my closet, for the sake of the saints at St Jude’s Anglican Church, with whom I hope to be reunited soon.
