How many human spirits who truly accept Jesus as the Son of God have reflected on why the Friday He was crucified is regarded as Good Friday? Those who hold the unsound belief, which goes against the perfection and Justice of God, that His death was the basis of salvation, think that they have the answer.
However, a deeper, intuitively guided sensing shows that the day represents the day our earth was reclaimed from darkness, not because His blood was shed to wash away humanity’s sins but because, in accepting to die, He consolidated and authenticated His Mission.
If Jesus had not quietly accepted the false accusations and painful rejection that led to the cross, His actual mission, the bringing of the Truth, would have collapsed. The word would have been dispersed with the dispersal of His disciples, but by not denying His origin and by standing for the Truth to the point of death, He put a seal on His mission.
The death on the cross confirmed His identity as the Son of God to His followers (including Judas, who went and hung himself when he saw that Jesus had been condemned to die), for indeed, it fulfilled many prophecies. Even others, like the centurion and his team, who witnessed the event, came to conviction.
Amid the worst possible torture and humiliation, the Son of God, with His last breath, offered us a path to forgiveness and redemption. With the last sigh to His Father, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,” He extended the greatest act of Love to humanity and their dark world without a hint of bitterness or hatred. Such great Love reverberated throughout Creation and was echoed by the Son of Man who was to come for the Judgment.
The last Message from God to humanity, the Grail Message, explains the relevance of this act of Love for the fate of our earth. It was based on this great act of Love, which is only possible from Divinity, that the last grace of a physical incarnation of the Son of Man was granted. His actual stepping foot on our earth, which was not originally intended, meant that our world could be supported to the extent that total disintegration, which was its fate after humanity’s tragic failure with the murder of Christ, could be averted.
Instead, following the judgment of the human spirits (the sifting), a thousand-year period of grace was granted, during which Satan’s activity is curtailed, and viable human spirits are supported for quicker maturity (see previous blogs). The world would be purified, but it would survive.
The culminating event on that tragic, dark Friday was the basis for the hope that sustains our world today and will support it throughout the purification judgment and beyond. It is and remains our Good Friday.
The murder of Jesus was a great offense against Him personally, against the Father, and against the Holy Spirit. Every offense, whether against your fellow man, yourself, or other beings in Creation, also contains an offense against the Will of God that stipulates only Love and upbuilding. The betrayal, torture, and murder of the Son of God is an offense against the Will of God, irrespective of how we wish to interpret it to justify our religious beliefs.
As the Son of God explained, sins against an individual may be forgiven by the one offended, but sins against the Will of God, the Holy Spirit, can only be redeemed by experiencing the consequences arising therefrom in the ordinances of creation that bear the Will of God. Each individual is responsible before the laws of creation for his or her actions.
Every offense must attain forgiveness if we are to move on. Jesus’ rejection and murder were direct offenses against Him and the Father but also carried a component against the Will of God expressed in creation as immutable laws. The latter, representing an offense against the Holy Spirit, can only be forgiven after we have experienced the fruit accruing from the offense.
Hence, the importance of the fateful words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” This is forgiveness anchored by Jesus for all those who not only recognize that we, as humanity, have sinned against the Son of God but have also genuinely asked for this forgiveness.
The Forgiveness that the Son of God anchored for deserving humanity can only be accessed by recognizing Jesus as the Son of God, that we have offended against Him and the Father, and repenting (as did the thief on the cross). For humanity, this occurs only through accepting the Word Jesus brought. We must acknowledge Him as the living Truth and as Light that brings increased mobility and Life to the dense darkness of the degenerate world of Matter.
Above all, we must recognize that in crucifying Him, we nailed the living word on the cross. In doing so, we offended not only against Him but also against the Laws of His Father in Creation, i.e., against the Holy Spirit, the Will of God in Creation. Thus, accepting Jesus as the Son of God, which grants us His forgiveness, although an important step, must be followed by living and adjusting to the Will of His Father through our experiences. Only through this can we satisfy the Law of God’s Will in Creation.
Jesus Himself repeatedly pointed to the fact that the people of His time, representing the best of humanity of the epoch, particularly the religious leaders, were operating against the Will of God and were seeking to murder Him.
In the parable of the tenants who rejected the prophets and guides sent to them to guide their development in the Will of God and who even, in the end, tortured and killed His Son, we could easily recognize human spiritual failure and their rejection of Christ (Matt.2:33-431). These people were not commended by the owner of the vineyard for successfully prosecuting a necessary sacrifice for the forgiveness of their sin but were condemned and severely punished.
In John chapter 8, the Lord unequivocally accused those seeking to kill Him as being under the influence of Lucifer and of being the children of the Devil, for if they were of God, they would have received Him with open arms.
It is indeed strange that Christians today believe as an article of faith that Jesus came primarily to die on the cross for the redemption of their sin, based only on a misinterpretation of the prophecy of Isaiah (see earlier post, Easter 2025 part III). Yet, while before Pilate, at the very conclusion of His Mission, Christ Himself was quoted as saying that the reason why He came to the earth was only to bear witness to the Truth.
In none of His recorded utterances was it ever stated categorically that He came to die on the cross. On the contrary, He declared categorically that His death was a murder (John 8:37-47) and that it was not the Will of His Father but an instigation from Satan.
It is true that most events of Jesus’ life on earth, including His death, were seen and prophesied, but prophesies are not inevitable ordinations but likely outcomes predicated on human trends in behavior at the time of the prophecy. It was foreseen that humanity may not receive the Son of God just as they did not receive previous messengers of God. If the people had changed, the prophecy also would have changed in its details. If humanity had received Jesus as the Son of God instead of rejecting Him, the tragedy of the murder would have been avoided.
The death of Christ on that bleak Friday afternoon is the greatest tragedy in the path of human Spirits in Subsequent Creation. We thereby forfeited any chance of further help and support from the Creator. Indeed, with the death of Christ, the veil symbolizing the connecting point between humanity and Divinity on earth was torn, exposing the Holy of Holies to impure vibrations, thereby showing that Divinity will no longer commune with humanity. We did not recognize the time of our visitation!
Christ summarized this tragedy just before his passion when He lamented over Jerusalem. The symbolism of this is often glossed over because we fail to realize that in revealed Biblical literature, Jerusalem symbolizes our earth as one of the communities or churches where human spirits exist in Material Creation. Christ’s lament has deep meaning. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”(Matt. 23:37-39)
With our rejection and murder of the Son of God, the judgment of the owner of Creation, the Father who has patiently, over millennia, been sending guides and prophets to us, was set to descend on unrepentant humanity. Our part of Creation was to be abandoned to our choices, and we deserved nothing other than being cast out into utter darkness and our lampstand removed from the presence of God. Divinity, He tells us, will no longer set foot on earth until the final Judge comes in the name of the Lord. If we are to still be saved, we must recognize and acknowledge Him, who comes in the name of the Lord.
But this fate for our world was changed by the Love of God. Divine Unsubstantiated Love, in the end, turned the bleak Friday into a Good Friday for those who recognize the Envoy of God and who hold on to the promise of salvation and redemption that Jesus received from the Father on our behalf. For these few, the Love of God, in resonance with the volition expressed by Jesus while on the cross and by the Son of Man, then in preparation for His own mission, permitted that the Son of Man can come in person into the world for His mission (see ‘Human Spirits in the Judgment’ by Uchenna Mezue).
The direct presence of the Son of Man on earth for the judgment modified the rays of Judgment to the extent that human beings could withstand the intensity of the purifying rays. This is an unfathomable act of Love, possible only with God! The rays of Love were thus woven into the rays of Justice. However, this grace is only for those who are open to the love of God in Jesus and are alert enough to recognize the one who comes in the name of the Lord for judgment.
Humanity, even those who recognized Jesus, have never really appreciated or been grateful to God for the great sacrifice of His coming and the last gift of hope He granted with the promise of the Spirit of Truth. The desperate agony of the Son of God, first in the garden of Gethsemane and then during prolonged hours of torture and hanging by hands and feet on a wooden cross under the baking heat of the day, has remained beyond our comprehension.
Instead, we have turned around, against all logic, to argue that He deserved and welcomed the hatred and rejection we gave Him because, after all, He came to die for our sins. We contend that it was the Will of His Father that He be tortured with stripes and pierced with nails and spear. However, the torture and murder of the One sent from God is evidence that we have fallen short of the demands of God’s Laws. It is a dark, heavy burden for all who reject Him and His Mission, as well as for those who distort His Word even today.
The sacrifice of Love intrinsic in the death of Jesus on the cross remains a ray of hope, but only for those who genuinely accept and recognize Him as the Son of God sent to bring us redemption in the Word. It is for those who recognize and accept Him as the Son of God that Jesus suffered the agony in the garden and consummated His death on the Cross. It is for us that He turned the dark tragedy of that bleak Friday into a Good Friday.
The last Envoy from God tells us that the loving volition toward humanity sent to the Father by Jesus, the Son of God, while on the cross echoed in the Son of Man already in preparation for His Mission to bring judgment to Subsequent Creation (see ‘In the Light of Truth, the Grail Message’ by Abd-ru-shin).
In response to the requests of the two Enovys of God, the Son of God, Jesus, and the Son of Man, Imanuel, the fate of our world was altered. This is the special grace of Good Friday. Instead of complete destruction, which should have been its fate after the great failure, a period of extended grace was granted, and salvation and redemption once more became possible, but this discussion is for another day.
