Good Friday
The last word from the cross is a word of fulfillment announcing the fulfillment of all things: “It is finished.” Completed. Perfected. Mission accomplished. It is done literally to the death. There are no loose ends for us to tie, no missing pieces for us to puzzle over, nothing to be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided. “It is finished.” The redemption price is paid. The world’s sin is atoned for. The work of reconciliation, peacemaking, is accomplished. The Law is fulfilled. “There is therefore now no condemnation of those who are in Christ Jesus.” It is finished.

Maundy Thursday
It is Passover night, the night before the day the children of Israel walked though blood-stained doorways into freedom and life as God’s people. This is the paschal night, the night of the remembrance meal—the hard, unleavened bread, the bitter herbs, the lamb roasted to dry toughness. The Lamb’s blood painted on the doorposts. It is the night of judgment and death as God seeks out the blood. Under the blood of the lamb, you are safe. Death passes over. Without the blood you are dead. It is neither safe nor salutary to deal with God apart from the blood of the Lamb.
