On this most holy and sacred Good Friday, what should we reflect upon as we remember Jesus Christ? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
Jesus found that people were running after glass beads, imagining them to be diamonds and attaching great value to them. He went around holy shrines and discovered that they had become bazaars where grace was being bargained and commercialised! He condemned the priesthood which tolerated and encouraged these practices. So he drew upon himself the anger of heads of temples and monasteries. They tempted one of his disciples with 30 silver pieces, to betray him into their hands. The Roman rulers were told that Jesus was attempting to assert himself as King and so could be punished for treason. Their insistence made the Governor order his crucifixion. When the nails were being driven into him to fix him on the Cross, Jesus heard the voice of the Father saying, "All life is one, My dear Son. Be alike to everyone," and he pleaded that those who were crucifying him may be pardoned for they knew not what they did! Jesus sacrificed himself at the cross for the sake of entire mankind!
