Good indeed

Today could almost slip by unnoticed.

There are jobs to do, errands to run, kids to tend to, and oh yea....isn't it Easter this weekend?

But not yet. Friday is here but Sunday is coming....

Today goes down as one of the most blessed days for those of us redeemed, bought, cleansed, and saved by the blood of Jesus.

Today represents the entire reason He came to this earth to clothe Himself with humanity, walk among us, and share in our sufferings.

Today represents His death.
Today represents my life.

Today represents the beatings that left him almost unrecognizable.
Today represents the healing that is mine through the stripes He took.

Today represents His sacrifice.
Today represents my salvation.


Faithful Lord~ thank you for doing what you came to do. Thank you for enduring the shame and scorn. Thank you for taking the beating, the cursing, and the spitting. Thank you for wearing the crown of thorns. Thank you for being nailed to a cross and never shrinking back from what it cost you. Your love is incomprehensible. I am overwhelmed. My sins are taken away...past, present, and future. You alone made the way. Help me to live for you. Help me not to squander Your sacrifice or to diminish it in any way. Compel me to pursue others on Your behalf, to tell them of Your great love and mercy that is theirs for the taking. One man came to die to save all of mankind. It is a Good Friday indeed!
