There is Nothing Good about Good Friday

There is nothing good about Good Friday.
There is nothing good about torture.
There is nothing good about execution.
There is nothing good about duplicity.
There is nothing good about the abuse of power which legitimizes its role by crushing another. And, another. And, another after that.

And, where was God in all of this.
God was in the scream as nails were pounded through hands and feet.
God was in the tears of the mothers who watched their children killed.
God was in the friends who refused to turn away or run away and who, instead, kept watch so that even though Jesus had to endure it alone he did not have to be alone.
God was in the last gasping breath of Jesus.

And, God was and is in that very next moment.
