It was a dark Friday.
The sky grew quiet… the crowds grew louder… and Jesus, the Son of God, creator of the universe in man form hung on a cross between heaven and earth.
“They cried out again, ‘Crucify Him!’” (Mark 15:13)
Just days before, they had shouted “Hosanna.” Now the same voices called for His death.
And still… He stayed.
“He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities… and by His wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)
He stayed when the nails pierced His hands.
He stayed when the soldiers mocked Him.
He stayed when the world went dark.
Not because He had to… but because He chose to, because of his outpouring love for YOU and ME
“But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Every drop of blood, every breath He struggled to take, every moment of agony-He carried our sin, our shame, our failures.
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree…” (1 Peter 2:24)
And then He said it:
“It is finished.” (John 19:30)
Not a cry of defeat… but a declaration of victory!
Today we remember the cross.
We remember the sacrifice.
We remember the love that refused to give up on us.
We remember JESUS, our Savior, Yahweh, the Almighty King, King of All
Kings, the ROCK of our Salvation.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
It may feel like a dark Friday…
But Sunday is coming.
Death Could Not Hold Him, JESUS Reigns
