Sweet Zombie Jesus!
Happy Easter.
That's the first thing, the second thing is another rant.
You people, collectively, need to stop saying "Why do they call it good friday? Jesus died on that day, why is it good?" I'm going to tell you. And from now on, never ask me that again.
Jesus died on good friday, but have you forgotten that the key reasons Jesus died was to cleanse the sins of humanity? Jesus knew Judas was going to betray him, he said so at the last supper, and he said that it was okay, because it was part of the divine plan. So Jesus's death was a good thing, because through his death he gave all of humanity that was present on earth at that time, or had ever been, acess to heaven. It goes on to say that the first thing he did when he died was go down to hell and free everyone who had died before he had been around to cleanse them, allowing them all into heaven.
And another thing, you're not allowed to question what the phrase "I am the lamb of God" means anymore, because I'm going to tell you. As with the other thing, this is a question you're no longer allowed to ask me. It's part of this same story. Sacrifical lambs are a practice as old as the temple. People sacrifice things to serve their holy end, usually purification. God sacrificed his only son, hence cleansing the whole world. Hence, Jesus is the lamb of God, because he was sacrificed to cleanse humanity.
One final note. This is all written from the perspective of an active catholic, which I'm not, but it was written to explain to you what they mean when they say these things, so it was a necessary sacrifice to get my point across. This blog is the lamb of Max, Hallowed be his name.
Amen.
