Good Friday - Celebrate or Cry

Every Good Friday seems to bring this out in me, should I celebrate or should I cry?  On the one hand I remember how the helpless, God-rejecting rebels were decisively saved at the cross - that's an amazing reason to celebrate.  On the other hand Good Friday continues to remind me of my deep sin.  Even now, with sin killed for me, my response is horrible - I still find great value in the things of this world.

I will do both this weekend. Cry for how I have again failed Christ this past year, but rejoice because He died for me and I have another chance to work harder at rejecting things of this world and instead glorifing God. This weekend is my New Year, a time when I reflect on the past, what changes I need to make and how to put them in place.
