Good Friday - Where is Jesus?

So I just sat through another Good Friday service with really high expectations. (I am not saying at what church I was at) I was prepared to reflect on the death of my Lord with His people at church. I thought that we were going to have a somber time meditating on the death of Jesus Christ. Guess what, that didn't happen. I listened to a sermon that didn't even mention the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus wasn't talked about until we partook of the Lord's Supper (on a side note, communion was great). Does this raise red flags for anybody? It does for me. I think it shows the state of the pulpit today. Whenever the Word of God is preached it has to be centered around the Person of Jesus Christ, for that is what the Bible is about. It is God's self-revelation of Himself through His Son Jesus Christ. Every sermon must show us Jesus! Plus, today is Good Friday, so it should be centered around the suffering and death of our Lord.

    Im amazed that you even sat through the whole thing, I would have gotten up and left about half way through if Jesus wasn't mentioned by that point. What did they even talk about?
