Today is Good Friday. Today is the day that we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. We commemorate his death. Today is the first day of a three day weekend in our country. Schools close. Offices close. Businesses close. Leading us to Easter Sunday. There\u2019s no doubt that what Jesus went through had to have been terrible. The pain and suffering is beyond our imaginations. There\u2019s no way that what he went through can be called what we say is \u201cGood\u201d. Then why is it that we call today Good Friday? If you don\u2019t mind, I\u2019ll give you my simple explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Christians, this has to be the most momentous weekend in history. Even more important than Christmas. Think about why it is that we are celebrating this weekend. What it is really about. This weekend is about three things: Jesus\u2019s death, burial, and Resurrection! That\u2019s it. Those three things. And those are for us. He died to pay the sacrifice for our sins. The ultimate sacrifice for our sins. So we can then inherit eternity with him. Read that again. He died so we can have eternity with him. Wow! This was an incredible victory over sin. A victory over death. A victory for us. And that is why it is \u201cGood\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I would like to pose a more important question for you. I\u2019m not saying that this is more important than his death. Or his resurrection. But it\u2019s something that we must truly consider. As you read this, be honest with yourself. Be truthful. Analyze yourself. Look deep inside. Here it is, \u201cWhat are you doing now\u2026that honors Jesus?\u201d We cannot sit back and let his final act on earth just be considered a final act. We must do all that we can do show others the importance of it. There\u2019s one way to heaven. And that\u2019s through Jesus. And there are people out there that don\u2019t know this. There are people out there that do know this, but do not care. It\u2019s our job to teach them. So as we go about celebrating this weekend, let\u2019s remember what happened some 2000 years ago. Let\u2019s keep that in our minds and in our hearts. And let\u2019s do what we can to help others come to understand that too. Let\u2019s remember that Jesus loves us so much, that he suffered for us, so we can be united with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
