Today is Good Friday, the day our Savior was crucified for our sins. Why is it called “Good” Friday? It certainly wasn’t good for Jesus! No, not hardly. What happened 2,000 years ago on this very day was for OUR good, but it cost our Lord everything.
As we prepare for Easter, we are overwhelmed by what Christ did for us. Divinity was wrapped in humanity; He who was sinless took our sin; the One who is worthy of all praise was cursed and reviled; He who is eternal,experienced the pain of death. When we could not ascend to Him, He came down to us. When we could never purchase our own freedom, God did it for us with the blood of His own Son.
What is so amazing is that He didn’t have to do it … but He did! Although it cost Him so much, it was really good for us. That’s why this day will always be called, “Good Friday!”
Lord, thank You for the pain You suffered for me. Thank You for enduring rejection, nails, and a crown of thorns. I love You. After all You’ve done for me, how could I not?
You are the dearest and best. Oh Lamb of God, I declare that You are worthy!
Today, I’m worshiping with Naomi Raine and “Revelation 19:1.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
