Hey, good people. This is Toray Roberts. Blessings to you and welcome to the One podcast.

I'm excited that you're here. One is a community of dynamic and vibrant thought leaders,

preachers, teachers, and just a community of wonderful people all together.

And we're excited to bring you this weekly podcast from our services from One in L.A.

If you haven't been the one, I encourage you to check it out.

You can go to One, the word one, o'n, dot online, and find it all about the service times and all about the teachers and all the philanthropic things that we have going,

I believe you're going to be blessed to be a part of it.

And speaking of being blessed,

we're getting ready to get into a teaching right now

that I believe is going to bless you.

So tune in, enjoy, and I'll be back with you at the end.

I'm going to read a lot of scripture, so I'm going to let you sit down.

But my God, he's a good God.

Good Friday is always different.

We'll be back on Easter Sunday.

Some of us will get all dressed up.

I will.

We're going to celebrate the victory. And even in our effort to celebrate because we don't like pain, we call it Good Friday. It's not a scripture that says on a Good Friday, he died. But you know, we don't like pain, so we want to call it a Good Friday. And it was good. And it was good, and it turned out good for us. But for those on the cross, it didn't feel like a good day.

Jesus literally suffered.

The worst death that history has managed to find having been produced by humanity

in all of the depth of craven evil that can work in us.

Did you know the word excruciating is actually based on the cross?
