I met her on a sunny morning in southern Spain as we sat beside each other at a conference. We quickly discovered a love for walking with Jesus and bringing His light to the nations. Later that afternoon she found me and was quite emotional as she told me that the police were at her language school in the north African country where she serves and were asking lots of questions and she was very fearful that maybe she might be getting kicked out after 13 years of serving there. All of the sudden, everything she knew to be certain was in question.

The Stunning Glory of Good Friday
A bloodied, battered, and suffering Jesus, stripped of his clothes, nailed to a cruel cross, is lifted up in utter humility and shame in full view of the public. This, my friends, is the greatest expression of God’s glory.

But in recent days I have come to see that the glory of our Triune God is seen in its fullest on the awful cross of Good Friday. Why do I say that?
