Thoughts on Good Friday by Heath Ferguson {Life}

Good Friday is the day of Holy Week when our gaze lowers from the heavens down to the cross.  The cross is where we find reconciliation.  The cross is where Christ’s blood was made available to us.  If we are to properly spring forth this Sunday in celebration, it will be from our knees as we worship first, the Savior Who suffered.  And we remember honestly and humbly why He suffered. Knowing the full expression of God’s love for us comes first from the realization that we needed to be saved. ​

 Then Sunday comes as it should, and our Easter can be truly celebrated as we know Who loves us and how much He loves us.  We are transformed and made new as God made His love available to us in the Christ.  We are new and can stand to celebrate a Risen Savior on Easter because He gave of himself on Friday.  What a beautiful and heartbreaking truth it is to know how amazing God’s grace is for us, and how much He was willing to endure for us.  But He did.  And He rose because the grave could not hold Him.  And now He is ours and we are His.   
Matthew 28:6a
 6 He is not here, for He has risen

God bless you and yours on this wonderful Easter weekend.
