He is Risen!

Tomorrow is Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, the day that CHRIST was crucified for my sins. So, what makes it such a good day, especially considering the torture and abuse that CHRIST suffered. There is nothing good about all the anguish He endured for me.

What makes Good Friday good is because CHRIST died for me. GOD, through His Son, JESUS, and the sacrifice He so willingly made, paid the price that I could not pay. JESUS, through His sacrifice, made a way for me to be "right" in the sight of the LORD. There is nothing I can do to save myself, yet, GOD made a way! Without JESUS'S crucifixion and resurrection, we would be lost without hope. That is what makes it a Good Friday.

Today's word is Matthew 28:6, KJV, which reads, "He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the LORD lay."

As we approach Easter Sunday, I can't help but think about the sacrifice made on my behalf. I can't help but think about JESUS coming to this earth and taking the punishment and the ridicule and ultimately dying for my sins. But, dying is not where it ended!

JESUS arose! He is alive, sitting on the right hand of the Father in Heaven, making intercession for us! Because of JESUS'S sacrifice, we have a way to be made "right"! Because of His resurrection, we have a future! Rejoice! He is risen!

Be Blessed,
