GOOD FRIDAY: Loss, Grief, and When Nothing Makes Sense

The Best of You

This week, we’ve been walking through a special Easter devotional journey—following the story of Jesus as it unfolds from safety, to rupture, to suffering.

Today, we arrive at Good Friday.

This is the day everything seems to fall apart.

The day marked by loss, grief, and deep disorientation.

In John 19, we witness the final moments of Jesus’ life—where hope appears to give way to death, and nothing makes sense in the way it once did.

This episode creates space to sit in that reality—to acknowledge the weight of what is lost, and the very human experience of not yet knowing what comes next.

Today’s Scripture is: John 19
