Good Friday, Good Grief: Why Christ Was Not Crucified on a Friday

Posted by Edward Cross on June 29, 2026

Good Friday and a Sunday-sunrise resurrection are tradition, not Scripture. The Lord gave one sign — three days and three nights in the heart of the earth — and only a Wednesday cross and a Saturday-evening rising can pay it. A study of the high sabbath, the two sabbaths, the Passover, and why no day is a holy day for the Body.

The Kingdom of God: Two Realms, Two Hopes, Two Inheritances

Posted by Edward Cross on June 16, 2026

The kingdom of God is often flattened into one destiny, but rightly divided it embraces two realms — one earthly, one heavenly — with two peoples and two hopes. This article shows why flesh and blood inherits Israel's earthly kingdom, and why only the incorruptible enter the heavenly realm of the Body of Christ.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

The Christian life has plenty of ups and downs — disappointments, heartbreaks, and failures. Yet one thing never changes: the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Romans 8, Paul gives us hope even after the struggles of Romans 7:

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…” (Romans 8:29 KJV)

We all fail, but the Lord never abandons us. David proved that — a man after God’s own heart despite his many failures. Because of God’s sure mercies in Christ, we can keep on keeping on.

Even when we believe not, “yet he abideth faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13). God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). He is never surprised.

The journey continues — grounded in the faithfulness of Christ.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

The Christian life is full of ups and downs. You face disappointments and heartbreaks, but the one thing you can always count on is the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. You learn that this cannot be said of any other.

In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul instructs believers as to why they can have hope even though they experience the failures of Romans 7. (Rom 8:29 KJV) “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, …”

All believers fail the Lord in some way, even though they may not be willing to admit it. Others may abandon them, but the Lord never does. Despite all of David’s failures, the Lord never abandoned him. He was a man after God’s own heart, can you imagine that? The Lord promised him sure mercies, just like He promised the seed of Christ.

It’s because of His sure mercies, the Christian should keep on keeping on, come what may. Always remember the faithfulness of Christ even in the midst of our unbelief. Even when we believe not he abides faithful.

If God intends all things to work together for good, then it is up to us to understand all things in light of what God is doing in our lives. God never wakes up surprised. So the journey continues…
