Hi Folks,
I hoe you have had a blessed week! Here we are at Good Friday.
I've had folks wonder at times, "Why do we call this Good Friday?"
The day Christ Jesus died was a physically and spiritually horribly painful day for Him as the sins of the world were laid on Him and paid for through HIs death. "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: (Christ-likeness, Godliness) by whose stripes ye were healed."
But it was a GOOD DAY for sinful man! Jesus made a way for each person to inherit Heaven through His death, resurrection ad accepting Him as Savior!
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed(rejected)." Romans 10:9-13
Below is our devot. for this weekend, truly remembering and reflecting on this week, a "Good Friday" song.
I also want to give a parting reminder that while Easter Sunday and April's Fools Day fall on the same day, keep your perspective folks. The following passage explains that if Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith would be in vain and those who have trusted Christ and died,
would not have the hope of eternity in Heaven either. Jesus' resurrection is paramount to us spending eternity with Him! We have assurance that we will be in Heaven with Him, because He rose from the grave and we have personally trusted Him! Praise Him for that! https://www.biblegateway.com/
I pray for the Lord's richest blessings on you and your family this Holy Weekend.
