Good Friday is both a day of sadness and of joy. Sadness because it was our sin that held Jesus to the cross, and yet joy because He took the punishment we deserved so that we might be reconciled to God. It is also the day Jesus established his new kingdom. With His death the way is now open for His people to draw near to God. In that sense, as Jesus died He is crowned. And like other coronations, Jesus' tells us what sort of King He is and what sort of Kingdom He will rule.
