Good Friday

Good Friday, a day we call 'good' because of the joy of what is to come on Sunday, yet in that very moment as Christ Followers watched as he took His last breath and left their world. It would have been a sad day, your teacher, the Christ was gone.


Imagine earlier in the same week they had shared in the Passover meal together and now he was gone. And Jesus what a man, knowing what He had been called to did not waver in faith or choose to disobey His Father, but carried out the command in order that we may have a new life.
Truly how deep is the Father's love for us?

"This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step.
Not once said anything amiss.

He never did one thing wrong,
They called him every name in the book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your healing." ( 1 Peter 2:21-24)
