Good Friday
Today is "GOOD FRIDAY"! The ‘good’ in Good Friday is understood as ‘Holy’ referencing the sacred nature of the event and its ultimate significance for salvation. Through His suffering, we have redemption and through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have the opportunity for an abundant life in this life and the hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone was rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness—signaling that death does not have the final word.
For the Christ-follower, EASTER weekend is to be reverently remembered as a day of celebration, mourning and thankfulness as well as reflection and prayer.
Easter weekend is often marked by fasts, solemn services, and a focus on Jesus' sacrifice. As we focus on Christ’s redeeming sacrifice this weekend, we are reminded of His unconditional love, humility, and obedience—even in life’s most difficult and uncertain moments.
There is no doubt that HE first loved! His love for you and me make it possible for us to follow Him! How’s it going? Are you in step with the two greatest commandments? Do people with whom you interact see the love you have for the Father and do they have a sense that you love and care for them because of your love for the Father?
