Not many knew the real Jesus. Angels. Prophets. Mary. Joseph. John the Baptist. A naked caveman possessed by multiple demons who Jesus healed shortly before Good Friday on the northern shores of the Sea of Galilee. I'm not really sure why Jesus told the man he couldn't follow when the man asked once the demons were cast out of him and he was given new life. Perhaps it had something to do with the special knowledge the demons gave the man about who Jesus really is. Maybe Jesus was concerned the man, now healed, would blab to others about Jesus, the Son of the most high God, and interfere with God's plan for what needed to happen on this Good Friday.
It wasn't until Jesus died on the cross that others began to recognize him as the Savior of the world. His last words spoken, "Father forgive them for they know not what they're doing," summarizes how much Jesus loves us. In his darkest moment, Jesus prayed for our salvation. Greater love has no man than to give his life for another. Remember this day. This is the day Jesus opened the door to Heaven. This is the day all our sins were forgiven. This is Good Friday. Have a great day.
