On this Friday before Passover, around 2000 years ago, Jesus did the work to deliver us from evil, to deliver us from the power of sin, death, and the devil. He went to the cross for you! On this night we walk through the Passion account as we remember the work that Jesus did for each of us on the cross.
Jesus is betrayed into the hands of sinners. He is mocked while wearing a purple robe and a crown of thorns. He must carry His own cross to Golgotha, the Place of a Skull. All of this happens until the last, when “for us He gave His dying breath” (LSB 544:5). It is completed. Salvation has been won for us. It is finished; He has loved us to the end.
