Since the altar is stripped and the paraments are gone, the wood of the altar and pulpit are fully exposed. On this Good Friday, and at Golgotha, all you see is wood! We are reminded of the agony and pain He suffered to remove your sin. Due to the sacrifice He uplifts sinners, raises the dead, and sweetens all agony and pain through the waters of your Baptism. Jesus Christ is your refuge and lifesaver, lightening every load and giving you eternal rest and the promise of peace.
