Happy Good Friday — April 3, 2026
Today we humbly remember the suffering, sacrifice, and unfailing love of our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.
On this sacred day, we reflect on how He was wounded, beaten, and bruised for our transgressions. As declared in Isaiah 53:5 (KJV):
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
He endured the agony of the cross—mocked, scourged, and crowned with thorns. They pierced His hands and His feet, and as written in John 19:34 (KJV):
“But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.”
In His suffering, He was given vinegar to drink, fulfilling the scripture in Psalms 69:21 (KJV):
“They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.”
And in His final moments, He cried out with a loud voice, as recorded in Matthew 27:46 (KJV):
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” — “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Then, having fulfilled His divine purpose, He surrendered His spirit. As written in Luke 23:46 (KJV):
“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.”
Because of His sacrifice, we have redemption, healing, and eternal life. This day is not only a remembrance of His suffering—but a celebration of His victory.
🎶 Song Reflection:
“I Know It Was the Blood” (Liz McComb The SpiritofNew Orleans)
I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood for me; yeah!
One day when I was lost, He died upon the cross, I know it was the blood for me.
Sincerely,
Apostle Elizabeth Braggs
