Many want to skip over Good Friday and get right to Easter. We want to skip the cross and get right to the empty tomb. But the gospel is a message about blood and sacrifice. To deal with sin, Jesus had to endure sorrow, grief, rejection, torture and death. If we remove these aspects of the gospel, we damage the gospel itself. Without the shed blood of Jesus on the cross, we could not have peace with God. “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” (Hebrews 9:22)
