INSIGHT TO GOOD FRIDAY
πPLS READ π
Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, the day on which Christians annually observe the commemoration of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
For Christians, Good Friday is a crucial day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most pivotal day in the history of the world.
Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity, died on a Roman cross as recorded in Matthew 27:32-56, Mark 15:21-38, Luke 23:26-49
What was the Crucifixion of Jesus?
πThe crucifixion of Jesus is the slaying of the lamb for humanity. Jesusβs death made atonement with God for man. Before Christ came to earth, man-made sacrifices of calves or lambs to God for the atonement of sin. Since the fall of man, God had devised a plan for those who were not initially a part of the Abrahamic covenant to be grafted in for forgiveness of sin. This grafting is made possible because of the blood that was shed at Calvary. Jesusβ death was necessary and the only way the rest of us would not be lost.
πThree Things Christians Should Know About the Crucifixion
βοΈFirst, Jesus died for us. He died so that we might live.
βοΈSecondly, it would be virtually impossible for us to live up to Godβs standards. We know that the Word says that Godβs commandments are not grievous.
βοΈThirdly, a good percentage of Christians are not Jewish. We do know that God has a special relationship with the children of Israel because of His covenant with Abraham and Jacob. Jesus came to provide access to those who are not of the Abrahamic covenant.
We must spend our time witnessing. We do not know when Jesus will be sent back to collect the church. The Bible says that He will come as a thief in the night. Jesus does not even know when He is coming back. Only God knows that. It is up to us to be ready and to tell others about the plan of SALVATION.
LET'S CELEBRATE THE SEASON WITH UNDERSTANDING
HAPPY CELEBRATION π
JESUS IS LORD FOREVER
