"This week we celebrate

Good Friday and Easter.

Why do they call it Good Friday?

It may be that it was first called “God’s Friday

” since this was the day that God gave the supreme sacrifice

in seeing His Son Jesus Christ die on the cross for our sins.

Over the years, “ God’s Friday” may have become “Good Friday.”

This could also have another meaning for you and me

as well. On Good Friday, almost 2,000 years ago,

Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross to pay for

your sins and mine. Because He died, we can have eternal life

. Because He paid the cost, we can go free. Because

He loved us, we can live lives renewed unto love.

Because He suffered, we can have joy and happiness

. In the pain that Jesus Christ took for us,

we can have eternal life and happiness and forgiveness and peace.

It was pain for God, but the outcome is incredibly good for us!

So when you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord,

it truly can be Good Friday for you! And most wonderful of all,

three days later, on Easter Sunday, Jesus Christ rose from

the dead! He conquered sin and death and hell and

He miraculously rose from the grave. His disciples and many others

saw Him, and now Jesus sits in heaven at the right hand of God

the Father. Some day every knee will bow and every

tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God

the Father. Christ is Lord! He has risen from the dead!

He has risen indeed! So, this week, let us pray and"b glad n it...amen
