BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY

For Our Most Holy God so loved the world
That He gave His precious pure and only Son
So that the depravity and corruption of sin sown within us
From Satan could be reversed and undone.

He asked sweet Jesus to swiftly go
And do what no earthly man could ever do
Which was to come and bring healing and restoration
And reconciliation back to Heavenly Father for me and you.

Sin had torn us from our relationship
With our wonderful Heavenly Father
It had created a chasm so great between us
That we could no longer be called His son or daughter.

When Jesus heard the weighty petition
Of His Father’s loving and gracious heart
He did not hesitate one moment of time
To hasten to this world to perish and depart.

He came most willingly and expeditiously to lay down His life
And to suffer a horrible and painful death upon the Cross
For Most loving Heavenly Father and us
So that we would no longer experience the loss.

The loss of tender connection
To our devoted Father Divine
As Jesus gave His own life upon that Cross
Substantiating for Heavenly Father to again call us “mine.”

As Jesus took our sin, sickness and disease
Upon His own body bearing scars forever to show
Let us ruminate upon the depth of what He did
On this special Good Friday long ago.

All the iniquity that had separated us
Pierced and was buried with Jesus on that Day
Thank you, Lord Jesus for saving us
In Your Own special way!

May our hearts be filled with deep gratitude
And thanksgiving for everything You have done
For as we receive Your most Holy Gift within our inner being
Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit and we now get to be eternally One.

We focus on the following key principles of a Christian's new nature in Christ.

Every born-again believer is a New Creation in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Our focus is on who we are in Christ and on His finished work at the Cross, and how to live in that freedom. Romans 3:22

Sin no longer has dominion over a believer in Christ. Romans 6:14

Christians are no longer under a curse of any kind. Galatians 3:13

We focus on a person's future. A person's past does not determine their future, God does. Isaiah 43:25 ; Philippians 3:13

Our goal is not to build self-esteem or self-awareness. Our goal is to center our life around Christ and His vision for us. Galatians 5:24 ; Colossians 1:10

We do not strive for behavior modification. We believe Christ gives us a heart transformation. Ezekiel 36:26 ; 2 Corinthians 3:18

We have the choice to fill the great destiny God has for us as His children. Jeremiah 29:11

We believe a Christian can live a victorious life through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Romans 8:37 ; 1 John 5:4

Check this out. How much value does a piece of paper have? Not much, right? How about if that same piece of paper is made into a 100 dollar bill? 💵 It then becomes something of great value. Now, that paper did not stamp itself with that value. It could not. Its creator did. That is the same for you and me, but so much more. Our Creator God has placed great value on us, the worth of the life of His own Son Jesus Christ. In fact, the price of a life is too high that it cannot even be set. That is how much you mean to God. You are too valuable to even “price.” You are priceless and precious. God is more than our Creator. He desires with all His Heart to be our Father.

Have you ever wondered where the term “carrying dead weight” came from? It began in the days of the Roman Empire. The Romans were notorious for the ways they found to torture a human being. Crucifixion was one of their inventions. When a criminal was hated and condemned by the Roman courts, the worst punishment they sentenced was to bind a co**se to the condemned person’s bare back. It was the slowest and most painful of deaths they could contrive for the convicted as each day that one would bend lower and lower from the stench and poison of deterioration until death was imminent. Hence, came the phrase “carrying dead weight.”

Did you know this is analogous to what we are doing when we carry unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment and anger in our hearts? We are carrying dead weight. It affects us in the same way until we can no longer live our lives free and unhindered. We bend to its poison and our hearts harden and isolate. Even worse is everyone around us sees and smells it too. It defiles everything about us, our lives and our relationships.

Is there something “strapped” to your back? The answer is to forgive and release who hurt you and what they did into Jesus’ hands.

What if you don’t feel like forgiving? Don’t worry because forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a decision of our free-will. We choose to forgive just as we choose not to forgive, and we make our choice known by saying “I forgive…and I release..."

Why is it important to not only make the decision to forgive, but to release the person(s) and hurt(s) to Jesus too? If we don’t release all to Him, then we will take it on our back again. Rest assured, whatever pain we give to Jesus, He won’t give it back to us. It is put to death at the Cross. He only gives us that which is resurrected life and is eternal.

God is the only One qualified to take care of our wounds, and we don’t have the right to hold people hostage in our hearts. This is key to a successful and abundant life. When we forgive and release it, it allows God to give us restitution for our pain.

"And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." (Eph. 4:32)
