Good Friday message - Global Scenes

Good Friday message reflects the beliefs of Grandmothers Against Detention of Refugee Children

It’s Good Friday. Which is good because most people get a day off. Except us.
But we had a day off on Wednesday, so we’re not complaining.
As most people know, Good Friday is a Christian holiday that marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The Wikipedia entry on Jesus kicks off by saying he was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader.
It goes on to say that Jesus is the central figure of Christianity and that some people believe him to be the son of God and the messiah, as written in the Old Testament.
But for the purposes of this article, let’s call him an ancient philosopher.
That’s not because we think he is or isn’t the messiah. It’s just that we’re not too keen to start a religious debate in the Topics column. Who knows where that might end. It might never end.
Anyhow, our reason for writing about Jesus on Good Friday is that he seemed to talk a lot about love and compassion.
