today is the day that Jesus...
-washed his best friend's feet
-ate his last supper
-was burdened by the task before him
-was betrayed with a kiss
-was denied
this is Good Friday and for those of you who don't know it's the night of the Passover meal in Jewish tradition, however it was the night that Jesus was arrested.
saturday he was tried as an innocent man...he was BEATEN and suffered a terrible death.
but nothing could keep him down, on sunday he arose, after forgiving our sin.
he did this because he loves you. he did this because you aren't paid for with paper. you were bought with the ultimate price...someone else's life.
this probably doesn't mean much to you, if you are reading this. however, it means a GREAT deal to me, because of this, you and i can have our sins forgiven and we can live lives that are abundant. i ask that you will consider placing your trust in Jesus, that you will acknowledge his death as replacement for your's.
turn from sin and turn to CHRIST! he is the only thing that will get you through this life.
