One Friday

Telling the Good Friday story across the UK

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

The dead body of Jesus was removed from the Cross and was handed to a man named Joseph, who wrapped the body in linen, placed it in his own tomb, sealed the entrance, and then left. #OneFriday

Waiting involves faith. How can you see tomorrow with eyes of faith?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

At midday it gets very dark for about three hours. The heavy curtain in the Temple tears down the middle, Jesus suddenly cries out that he commends his spirit into the hands of his heavenly Father, and then he dies. #OneFriday

How did Jesus’ death change the meaning of death?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

Jesus’ mother Mary was standing close to the Cross, as was the disciple, John. Jesus asked John to assume responsibility for his mother, and John without hesitation agreed. #OneFriday #Family

How can we be family for those who have none?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

One thief reminded the other they deserved to be there but Jesus did not, and then asked Jesus to remember him when he reached his Kingdom. Jesus said that they would both be in Paradise that day. #OneFriday

How does the promise of eternal life change how we think about today?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

At the execution site, the Roman soldiers quickly nailed three people to three wooden crosses: Jesus in the middle, a convicted thief on either side. Jesus asked his heavenly Father to forgive these people because they had no idea what they were doing. #OneFriday

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

As Jesus continued his execution journey, he heard a number of women wailing over his coming demise. With compassion he prophetically tells them to weep instead for terrible times of suffering that would come their way soon. #OneFriday

Have your tears ever felt like a prayer?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

The stumbling walk up to Golgotha’s hill through a hostile crowd was incredibly difficult for Jesus, and he falls down a man from Cyrene named Simon is asked by the Roman soldiers to carry the Cross, which mercifully he does #OneFriday

What does it mean to show mercy to others?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

Pilate orders his soldiers to crucify Jesus, after giving the crowd a choice between Jesus and a convicted killer. Jesus is made to carry his own cross to the execution site. #OneFriday

What heavy load are you carrying which you could give to God?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

To make an example, Pilate had Jesus tortured. He was mocked about his claim to kingship, and repeatedly beaten, before being brought back in front of Pilate. #OneFriday

When you’re in pain, does God seem near or far away? Does knowing that Jesus went through pain change this?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

The Jewish council of elders had no authority to execute Jesus, so they dragged him in front of the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, and demanded he provide the death sentence. Pilate eventually caved and gave Jewish leaders what they asked for. #OneFriday

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

Peter and Jesus were best friends, yet when the threat to life got too close to Peter he denied all knowledge of his friend, not once but three times. Quickly he knew what he’d done, and wept with remorse. #OneFriday #Lent

When we let others down how can we seek reconciliation?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

Jesus was asked if he was the Messiah, but knowing they would not believe the truth, he told the council of elders to make up their own minds. They had huge responsibility to judge if he was guilty of calling himself God, something that required the death penalty. #OneFriday

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

Even as he asks his disciples why they could not even pray with him, a lynch-mob organised by the chief priests and Temple leaders arrived, being led by Judas, who betrayed them into their hands. Jesus responds with forgiveness. Who do you need to forgive to set yourself free?

[One Friday @onefridayinfo]

At the start of his final journey Jesus goes to the garden of gethsemane and prays, being fearful of what lies ahead he gives it over to the Lord. Do you ever feel afraid or lonely? God will always be there for you. https://t.co/3wDkuoaHv3 https://t.co/vr9PDdBN5j #OneFriday
