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.

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...
