Good Friday

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (KJV)

Today is the day that we celebrate the death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We rejoice today because through Christ, we who believe have been forgiven of our sins and reunited with God.  It is important for us to always remember the depth of God’s love for us.

The Bible tells us that God so loved us that He sent His only Son into this world, with only one goal.  That goal wasn't to be a great teacher – although He was.  It wasn't to be a great miracle worker – although He was that as well.  It wasn't to be a great prophet – although He was that too.  His goal was to be the way – the only way – for us to be reconciled back to God.  You see Jesus was born of a virgin so that He wouldn't be contaminated with sin like us.  He was sinless.  He knew no sin.  So when He was crucified, He died for our sins.  And now whoever believes in Jesus Christ also believes that through Him, their sins are forgiven, and therefore will not perish, but have everlasting life.

Today is a good day to be forgiven and to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior; understanding that God loves you completely, and that Christ died for your sins too.  Click here for prayer requests.
