Good Friday


Good Friday. I'm not sure where the name of this day comes from. It doesn't come from the Bible. Some people think it's an oxymoron. but it's not. This is Good Friday in every sense of the word. This is the day the Messiah died for our sins so we wouldn't have to pay the penalty ourselves.

Good Friday is the day we remember Jesus's death. His substitutionary death. You see people are sinful by nature. We do things our way and not God's way. That is sin. God has told us that the penalty for sin is death. And there is nothing we can do on earth to pay the penalty for living life our way and ignoring God's way. We are destined for eternal separation from God in hell because of our sin. There is a way out, though. Jesus. He came to earth. He lived a sinless life. He died to pay that penalty for us. It was His gift to humanity. We need to accept that gift to be able to spend eternity with God in heaven. This is the day we remember His death.

Now, His death is not the end. Although Jesus died on Friday, Sunday's a comin!

God bless you.

May God have mercy on America.
