Good Friday again.
Jesus gives his life for the life of the world.
The hosts of Rector’s Cupboard sit down to talk about Good Friday in the world today.
What does Jesus’ sacrifice mean in the midst of all of this? So much spinning around, so many examples of a quest for power, even within religious circles.

Meanwhile Jesus gives his life for the life of the world. Relinquishing power.
May we have eyes to see, may we know with our hearts that which is beyond knowledge.
Blessings to you on Good Friday 2026.
