This Easter weekend, people all over the world will be Celebrating the life, death & resurrection of Jesus Christ! We have so much to be thankful for...but what he did way, way back in the day on this weekend...a thank you barely seems like it is enough.
One month ago today we flew into Florida to begin our new season...in a new state, a new apartment, in need of a vehicle...and super excited and blessed to start serving at our new church home. In the last month God has blessed us in our new apartment, with the vehicle and $$ needed to buy it, and the last month with our church and our youth ministry has been rid-unc-u-lously amazing! And tonight we will be leading worship with friends at our church for our Good Friday service.
As a kid I used to wonder why they called it good Friday. Jesus was beaten and hung on a cross on 'Good Friday'...I always thought it should be called sad Friday...but as I have grown in my faith...I have come to realize why it is so Good. Because of what Jesus did...I am redeemed! I am forgiven! He paid the price for US! Even though the pain he took that day is beyond anything I can even compare it too...I am healed because of it! It is a sobering Friday...a Friday to reflect...but yes...because of Jesus...it is a Good Friday!
...and don't forget...Sunday is coming!
Jesus answered, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me."-John 14:6
Thank YOU Jesus for dieing for me! Thank you for being the way! Thank YOU Jesus!
