Whats happenin everybody.. well its that time of the year, the time that we reflect on the huge sacrifice our God made for us to have life…
John 19:32-37
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken,”and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”
“He testifies so that you also might believe.”
On this day, we remember the fulfillment of scripture, mourn, but also celebrate Jesus’ death. I often struggle thinking of today as “good” friday… how can it be good? Our saviour is hanging on a tree, bleeding and dying. But then I think of the reason: God’s love has put him there, and because of this day, we have our sins lifted so that we can have a relationship with our creator… If that’s not good, then I don’t know what is!
happy easter.
peace and blessing
