Today is GOOD FRIDAY. A day to remember the ultimate sacrifice that JESUS CHRIST gave for all the world. He died so I could live, so you could live, so we ALL could live closer to GOD. I'm thankful for His sacrifice. He laid down His life and shed His blood, taking all of our sins to the cross with Him. He was whipped, mocked, slapped in the face, beaten and bruised, nailed to a wooden cross and pierced in His side. ( John 19) Through His sacrifice we have been freed from the curse of sin, healed from sickness and disease and given the promise of eternal life.
Romans 12: 1-2 (NLT)
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
It's important to me to remember JESUS' sacrifice not just today, but everyday, through the way I live and the way I teach my children to live. JESUS said we must pick up our cross and follow Him. We must die daily to the flesh. So, as we remember the price He paid for us today, let us give ourselves to Him in heart, mind, body and soul. Stand up, stand out and stand for Him. Don't let today just be another day, let it be GOOD FRIDAY.
