GOOD FRIDAY: SORROW
April 6
Reading
And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” LUKE 22:39–46

Mars Hill has produced a 30-minute film that is essentially a word-for-word compilation of the four Gospels accounts of Jesus’ death. I highly recommend watching it this Good Friday. You can download it for free at http://whokilledgod.com/.
The Cup and the Crucifixion
Joe Thorn blogged about this excellent spoken word piece from Odd Thomas. It is a great Good Friday meditation. Download Odd Thomas’ album, The Divine Use of Animosity & Ridicule for free. Be sure to check out the rest of the Humble Beast artists here.
