It’s Good Friday! Jesus Christ Crucified. (many ask – “if that's so– what’s so good about it?”)
He died the death our sin deserved. That all who believe may have everlasting life. (John 3:15-17) - That’s the Good News – about Good Friday!
I was thinking lately that – the three most important dates in all human history were: (and all foretold by God before they came to pass)
There is a Fourth date – a future date in history still to come –(foretold by God in Revelation) - when the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” will return –marking the time that Jesus Christ will rule and reign here on earth for 1,000 years – and after this the judgement - then after that … a new heaven and a new earth! (Revelation 19/20).
To me – this is the most – important date on the calendar – but you could miss it – if you miss the first three!
That’s why it’s so important that each year as we mark and celebrate these dates (as they come round and round to remind us and the world) – that we don’t treat them as just ordinary – mundane and routine – that the world sees - the hope we have in Jesus. In a world that is running desperately low on Hope! Let us never tire of sharing the Good News of Christ’s Birth/Death and Resurrection – along with His imminent return with the “whosoever’s” that God has placed in our lives!
Share your faith, hope, and love in Christ this Easter Season – and keep watch – He is coming soon … God desires that none should miss it!
“For God so loved the world, that He gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him may not perish, but have life eternal.” ~John 3:16 DBY

- Christ’s Death (Isaiah 53:5 -by His stripes we are healed)
- Christ’s Resurrection - (Psalm 16:10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.”
