Meaningless Death?
The event of today, 'Good Friday' is about Death. Not any ordinary death, but the death of Son of God, Jesus. A seemingly useless, unnecessary death that could have been avoided if only he had been careful, more prudent, more tolerant, had compromised a little! A seemingly wasted life and a wasted death. But is it so? Seemingly  wasted life indeed, but the final words of Jesus reveal something very precious.  
Ït is accomplished"!!!!!!
So, his seemingly meaningless death was an accomplishment.... What is accomplished through his death? His Mission... the purpose for which he was born.... Reconciliation of sinful humanity with God.... Our redemption.
Can one death mean so much? Yes His death does. There was a Death, certainly, but it was also a 'birthing'.
On this 'Good Friday'. let us reflect what Jesus did for us on the Cross......With sorrow and gratitude, let us  look on him whom we have pierced. For his death has birthed us into new life. For Death could not constrain or overcome Him. All death can best be seen in His death.......The pain and suffering he endured, paid the price for our sins that we may have eternal life.
His death is not meaningless ... hold on, the best is yet to come for it will lead to a Glorious..............
