Good Friday

Beloved! Today, the Good Friday is observed all across the world in commemoration of the sufferings of Jesus Christ and His victory over satan at the cross.

The Bible speaks of the sufferings that Jesus went through for us to redeem us from sin. He was humiliated by the Roman soldiers, whipped, spat at and suffered many other tortures to bring good upon us. It was the will of the Heavenly Father to subject His Son to suffer so that we would be set free from our sins and its consequences.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

Who is Jesus Christ and what HE did for us?

Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. Jesus Christ is Son of God! Jesus Christ was without sin, but He was crucified for the sins of the whole world.

Christ Is Someone To Know And Trust Jesus Christ is more than a system, tradition, or belief. He is a Person who knows our needs, feels our pain, and sympathizes with our weakness. In exchange for our trust, He offers to forgive our sins, to intercede for us, and to bring us to His Father. He cried for us, died for us, and rose from the dead to show that He was all He claimed to be. Conquering death, He showed us that He can save us from our sins, live His life through us on earth, and then bring us safely to heaven. He offers Himself as a gift to anyone who will trust and follow Him ( John 20:24-31).

Jesus lived to die. HE lived a holy life and fulfilled Heavenly Father's desire by crucifying HIMSELF on the cross. The soldiers made a crown from sharp and long thorns and put on HIS head. They hit and mocked HIM with their fists. Jesus carried HIS cross to the Skull Hill, the place HE will be crucified. They nailed HIS hands and feets on the cross. Before Jesus gave HIS spirit, HE prayed fervently to Heavenly Father to forgive the people's sins and said "It is finished" and gave up HIS Spirit. As HE said, HE rose from death after three days and went to Heavenly Father. - John 19

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. We are sinners and are far away from God. Jesus Christ gave up HIS life to cleanse our sins and give us eternal life when we accept HIM as our personal saviour.

Amen. Halleluyah! Praise the Lord for what HE did for us! God bless you!
