Good Friday

 


Happy Good Friday

 

This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.

 

I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday ---


when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. 🌟

 

Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV

 

One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

 

Family traditions can be as simple as attending ⛪️ church and having lunch or brunch together. 🎉

 

Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach. 


Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition?



A Good Friday Prayer 

 

”Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.“

Hebrews 4:16 NIV

 

Dear Jesus,

 

I grieve that the torture and sorrow You endured on the cross were necessary to save humanity.

 

Because You didn’t want me enslaved to fear, anxiety, or sin—You sacrificed Yourself so that Love could win.

 

It’s Love that hung upon the cross and gave up everything to rescue me. “It is finished” was a cry of victory, because You defeated everything that held me in captivity.

 

Because of Your sacrifice, I can experience intimacy with You forever. Thank You! Help me to know You more, and to reach people with the hope found in You.

 

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
