The Secret Ambition of Good Friday

This is one Good Friday where we have much time to contemplate the meaning of this day. When I think of this day, I think of this song by Michael W. Smith:

Sure, the video was shot in the eighties and shows it. But this has been a powerful song to me over the years. I love the lyrics to this song:

Nobody knew His Secret ambition,
Nobody knew His claim to fame.

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition,
He tore the holy veil away.

Questioning those in powerful positions,
Running to those who called His name.

But nobody knew His secret ambition,
was to give His life away.

Secret Ambition Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Wayne Kirkpatrick

Good Friday is a reminder that though things may seem dark and hopeless, Easter Sunday is coming. The darkest moment is never the end of the story.

Have a blessed Easter weekend.
