Today is Good Friday. It is the day Christians around the world take a moment and reflect what occurred on this day nearly 2000 years ago on a hill far away. The Lord Jesus Christ was nailed to an old rugged cross and died. He laid down His life for each one of us.
It was a horrible death, but it was the greatest demonstration of love that the world has ever known. We are all born into this world with our hearts bent away from God. We are born into this world as sinners. We have all sinned and we have all fallen short of God's high standards. There is not one of us that is good on our own.
There is no one good enough to earn the forgiveness of God by our own good deeds. We have all failed for there is none that is righteous. We are all sinners and we are all deserving of facing God's wrath and being placed into a literal hell outside of God's presence for all eternity.
Thankfully we know that God demonstrated His great love towards each one of us by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Jesus took our punishment for us on the Cross. He went obediently to the Cross and laid down His life for our sins.
Jesus went obediently to the Cross and died there for our sins. We must repent of our sins and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We must remember the events of Good Friday and we should also remember that there is Easter Sunday.
There is wonderful hope in the Lord Jesus Christ for all those who believe.
Lord,
Thank You for loving us so very much.
We praise Your Name.
Help us to live for You O Lord.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
