Jesus death wasnt a tragic mistake or an unexpected accident; it was part of the eternal plan of God for our good! Jesus was the perfect, sinless Son of God, but on the cross all our sins were transferred to Him, and He became the final sacrifice for our sins. As the Bible says, This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us (1 John 3:16). If Jesus had never gone to the cross, you and I would have no hope - no hope for forgiveness, and no hope of ever being in Gods presence forever. But because He died for us, we do have hope - hope for today, and hope for eternity. Is this hope living in your heart? As we remember Jesus death on this special day, may it truly become your Good Friday, as you turn to Jesus and by faith trust Him as your Savior and Lord. This is the Good News of Good Friday, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). Do you have eternal hope? Carol Thacker Napier
