It’s Friday. Our Savior is facing the darkest time in history. What happened on this day? Take our your Bible or Smart Phones and read the following passages. The journey will take you to understanding what Christ did for you on this Good Friday.
Jesus is tried by Jewish and Roman authorities and disowned by Peter
Matthew 26:57-27:2, 11-31
Jesus is Crucified
Matthew 27:31-56
John 18:13 - 19:16
Soldiers Mock Jesus
Mark 15:16-20
The Death of Jesus
Mark 15:33-41
On this day, Jesus took our place to give us eternal life. Jim Denison says it best with this analogy:
"I spent two hours this week in a federal courtroom at the invitation of the judge, a godly man and dear friend. It was a fascinating experience. The defendants before him were sentenced to some form of punishment for their crimes. Imagine yourself on trial before such a judge. Justice demands that he sentence you to death. Then, before you are led away, he sends his only son into the courtroom. His son takes the chains off your hands and feet, shackles himself, and shuffles away with the officer to be executed. The judge watches his son die in your place so you can be set free.
Would you ever again wonder if that judge loved you?"
Ponder this and respond in worship today!
Attend a Good Friday service today as you reflect and remember the sacrifice Christ made on the Cross for you today!
