Hillary Clinton's pastoral adviser urged her to keep her head up following her unexpected Election Day loss in November and compared the election to Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified.
"It is Friday, but Sunday is coming ... This is not the devotional you wish to receive this day. While Good Friday may be the starkest representation of a Friday that we have, life is filled with a lot of Fridays," wrote United Methodist City Society Executive Director the Rev. Bill Shillady in an email to Clinton obtained by CNN. "Friday is the day that it all falls apart and all hope is lost. We all have Fridays. But, as the saying goes, 'Sunday's coming!'"
Shillady has maintained a pastoral relationship with the Clinton family for years.
"For the disciples and Christ's followers in the first century, Good Friday represented the day that everything fell apart. All was lost. The momentum and hope of a man claiming to be the Son of God, the Messiah who was supposed to change everything, had been executed," Shillady explained, according to CNN's report of the message.
"Even though Jesus told his followers three days later the temple would be restored, they had no idea of what that Sunday would be. They betrayed, denied, mourned, fled and hid. They did just about everything BUT fell (sic) good about Friday and their circumstances," Shillady added, comparing Clinton's return possible return to politics to Jesus Christ's resurrection.
"Sunday is coming. Death will be shattered. Hope will be restored. But first, we must live through the darkness and seeming hopelessness of Friday," Shillady finished. "My sister Hillary. You, our nation, our world is experiencing a black Friday. Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while."

More like Judas...
Biblical, but a different passage in scripture.
It’s more like Jesus and his 40 days in the wilderness from the perspective of lesser man who might have to face Satan. We came very close to losing everything to pure evil, but the danger finally passed with no harm done.
If true, then Hillary’s ‘Pastor’ be goin’ to hell for blasphemy unless he repents.
That dude needs to step down.
BLASPHEMY AT ITS FINEST!
Really? I don’t think so. The pastor needs to reread the Bible.
Are some people just so “out there”, that they make ludicrous statements???
A minister is comparing losing an election to the crucifixion of Jesus??? Really??? That is a parallel comparison, parallel events???? Really????
there has not been such a sacrilege as this pastor...on the Christian Church......in its entire 2,000 years
how could anyone come up with anything as stark raving MAD as that?
it must be the chemicals in McD burgers, a secret plot to rot America’s brain cells......secret radiation from Cuba....or maybe the original anti=Floridists were onto something? or?
The reverend blasphemes.
United Methodist, huh? I’m not surprised.
An experience of loss for a Christian—be it death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job, etc—is a “little death” which is swept up into the ongoing life experience of the Paschal mystery of the death and Resurrection of Christ.
But in no way should a spiritual counselor/elder/pastor ever fuel messianic delusions by encouraging the person experiencing loss to consider, even for nanosecond, that they are “just like Jesus”.
You, our nation, our world is experiencing a black Friday. Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while.”
Wow, just, wow....And not in a good way............
The world seeing Hillary lose an election plunges us all into hell??? We are in hell due to the results of an election???? I can’t get over the reasoning ability needed to come to such conclusions.
It’s an attempt to equate Hillary with Jesus.
Well, we thought she was gone, but a few days later... she was back. Again.
Oh F!
I felt this since I first heard of her.

Huckstering the Almighty is a bad idea!
