A Very Good Friday

Good morning and happy Friday. Good Friday. Those close to Him are gone and don't  know Him. He's before the courts to be silenced once and for all. Not even the Romans want His blood on their hands. Everyone gets who He is but them. The verdict comes down and the sentence is passed. Because they were so tied up in their own way of thinking and wanting to be vindicated, they did not see who God Himself was. Where does that fit in your life today? 

   He is beaten almost to death before He ever makes it to the cross. Mothers hide their children's eyes from what is happening, that's how bad this is. He feels it all just like a man would. Skin ripped and broken open by the whips. Nails through the hands and feet. All for us. For all of us. When the world went dark and shook, they knew then that what they did was wrong, but will not admit to it. We are just like them. By staying in our sinful ways and not following Him, we are beating Him with a whip all over again and making His death nothing. The kindest loving God sent us hope. Gave us a way Home when there was none. Pours out grace on an undeserving world, so that we will come to Him and be His bride. We are children of the Most High God, act like it. Love each other and help each other. Make what happened on this day mean every thing to you. 

   He came as a man to walk among us and show us the way. He died on a cross to open the door to the Heavens. "It is finished". In love always. <><
