Today is Good Friday. The day that Jesus was beaten, nailed on a cross and died as a crucified Savior. Today was the day when all of our sin was washed clean. Forgotten. Forgiven. Forever.
‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Luke 24:7
This is what had to be done for our salvation. For the Son of Man to be lifted up and offered as a perfect sacrifice for many. His sacrifice was out of the love He had for us. The pain-for us, the blood-for us. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28.
Our salvation has been paid for. There is nothing left for us to do except to take Jesus into our hearts as our Savior.
In His promise, we have the hope that just as He rose from the dead, so too will we along with our loved ones who have gone before us be raised.
We have the occurrence that on the Last Day we will be with Him in paradise.
Sorry this was a shorter post and that I haven't written in a while. I don't think this message really needs a lot of words. It's simple. Jesus loves you, He has a plan for you. Part of that plan was to die for you.
Blessings to you all this Holy week,
Melody :)
