As we approach this sacred weekend, I want to take a moment to encourage your hearts. Although we will not be gathering for a Good Friday or Sunrise service this year, I invite each of you to pause this evening and reflect on the weight and wonder of what happened on this day all those years ago.
Good Friday confronts us with the injustice Jesus endured—the false accusations, the unlawful trial, the cruel flogging, and ultimately the crucifixion itself. None of it was fair. All of it was necessary. Without the suffering of Friday, there would be no victory on Sunday. Without the cross, there would be no empty tomb. Without His sacrifice, there would be no blessed hope for us.
Please take time to remember the cost of our salvation. Let the reality of Christ’s suffering prepare your heart for the joy of Resurrection Sunday. And when we gather on Easter morning, may we do so with a deeper gratitude, a clearer understanding, and a renewed awe for the Savior who died and rose again.
“He was wounded for our transgressions… and by His stripes we are healed.”
“He is not here; He is risen.”
Looking forward to celebrating our risen Lord together this Sunday.
In Christ,
Allen
