Today is Good Friday. Is there really anything good about Good Friday? An innocent man died but He died for us. He died for those who would learn to love Him. He died for us to be free and live with Him and His Father. “When Jesus half received the sour wine, He said, “it is finished.” Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.” -John 19:30 “It was now about noon, and a darkness came over the whole land until three, because the sun’s light failed. The curtain of the sanctuary was split down the middle. And Jesus called out what a loud voice, “Father, into your han ds I entrust my spirit.” Saying this, He breathed His last.” -Luke 23:44-46 “And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, Lemá sabachtháni?” Which is translated, “my God, My God, why have you abandoned me?”… Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.” -Mark 15:34;37 “But Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.” -Matthew 27:50 The Lamb of God cried out. His Father had turned away cause He couldn’t bare seeing Jesus on that cross dying a criminals death. He loved Jesus so much but He loves us too. Good Friday is only good because of what Jesus did. He died for us. He said father use me for these people. He said I will be the lamb and go as the sacrifice for them. Jesus had second thoughts about it but was affirmed by God to do it. Jesus still went and died for us. He died a sinners death for us. He died in one of the worst ways possible just for you and me. Today Jesus died. But if you know the story, you know that He didn’t stay dead. He rose. He will rise again. Jesus is in the tomb now but in a couple days, he will be risen. Hold onto hope and stay strong.
