Today is Good Friday. Today is the day when we recall what happened to Jesus on the cross - His suffering and death.
Human suffering is terrible, and innocent suffering is horrible.
When we truly understand the sufferings of Jesus on the way to Calvary and on the cross, we might want to call today "Sad Friday" because of the emotions that are evoked.
But it is called Good Friday and indeed it is, because Jesus suffered and died for our good, He died for our salvation.
And as we behold Jesus on the cross, we may remember those times of our own sufferings and there were people who came to our help and to relief us of our sufferings.
Jesus suffered and died on the cross. But that was not the end of it. God did something about it. And He did it for our good.
So when we come across others in their sufferings, we can no longer pass them by and think that it is none of our business.
We must do something about their sufferings, or even to have a share in their sufferings.
To do nothing about human suffering is certainly not good at all.
