COMMENTARY ON THE READINGS: GOOD FRIDAY

Theme: We have a great High Priest

 

1st Reading: Isaiah, chapter 52: 13 to chapter 53: 12

The Lord’s servant was despised, rejected and maltreated; innocent, but had to suffer and die to save us from damnation. At the end of it all, he was glorified by God.

 

2nd Reading: Hebrews, chapter 4: 14 – 16, and chapter 5: 7 – 9

Jesus Christ is able to stand by us and to defend us because he has been this way before and knows our weaknesses. We can confidently approach him, and ask for mercy.

 

GOSPEL: THE PASSION OF OUR LORD, ACCORDING TO JOHN
