” For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person- though perhaps for a good person one would dare to die- but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 6-10
Good Friday is a day of reflecting on the suffering Jesus did for us by being persecuted, being spit upon, being ridiculed, being brutally beaten and by his death on the cross. This one event, his death on the cross, is the most important event that paved the way for the salvation of those who believe. Without his walking this earth and without his death on the cross there would be no resurrection. There would be no opportunity for you and me to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We need to take a step back and meditate upon this one sacrifice that is so meaningful to the whole world. We must reflect upon, and be reminded of, his love for us. It is so uncommon for someone to give their life for those who are sinning and living lives of weakness. But Jesus did. God loves his children so much that he gave up his one and only son to go through the most horrendous things possible, exposing the evil and the ways of the evil in this world. With his death on that cross, he carried the weight of our sins with him. He didn’t just die on the cross to prove a point. He died on that cross to save the world. He came to walk before us and to experience life as a human. He became one of us so that he could die for us. We should get on our knees every day, and not just on Good Friday, to praise and thank our God in heaven for his sacrifice! Good Friday should be on our minds and thankfulness on our lips every day of our lives for the love and the sacrifice God has displayed for us each. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
