It is hard to know what to feel on Good Friday.
Listening to the readings of that fateful day it would seem that the people involved had little idea of what they were doing.
"Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do."
The Pharisees saw Jesus as a dangerous and threatening heretic.
And the masses followed the lead of the Pharisees.
The Romans saw Jesus as a potentially seditious insurgent - "The King of the Jews".
But Jesus was God's chosen messenger:
"The Light of the World".
And Good Friday is a sad day because it is the day when God was rejected - the day when the Light went out of the world.
And so our tears are appropriate.
