Good Friday

As Christians celebrating Holy Week today Good Friday and Easter are the two biggest days of the years. Although Christmas is celebrating Jesus Christ birth for many this week is even more important. You see Good Friday is celebrating the day that Jesus was crucified on the cross for our sins. Not just for Christians but for all mankind.

If you really look what Jesus did on the cross he died no matter what your religion is or if you have no religion at all. What I say next is not kind but it was the religious people of his time that he had trouble with and they were the ones that had him crucified. Often are religious side of us is what gets us in trouble. We judge other people for being “sinners” when we do things often worse. In the Bible the book of Luke chapter 7 verse 34 says “The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you say “Here is a glutton and drunkard a friend of tax collectors and sinners.””

For Jesus the worse part of the experience was not the pain and death he wanted to know his Heavenly Father had forsaken him. God the Father had to so we all can live. You see we are all sinners whether we think so or not and sinners are not accepted the Holy God. You see sinners have to pay for their sin and so Jesus paid the ultimate price on the cross to pay for our sin. It took a sinless man to pay for our sins.

On Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On the cross he paid for our sin however he came back in resurrection power so we would have new life. You see Jesus did not just die for Christians he died for Muslims, Hindu’s, Jews and all mankind including those who asked that he be crucified.

So wherever you are religiously or spiritually Jesus Christ died on the Cross and then came back in Resurrection power for you. The next step that you can take wherever you are at even if you think you’re the worst sinner on the face of the earth is to believe in him and ask for his forgiveness. You now will be on a new journey in your life. If you know someone who is a Christian go to them to help you on this journey. Have a great day and welcome to the family of all believers.
