One of the great old hymns poignantly captures Good Friday. \u201cOne day they led Him up Calvary\u2019s mountain. One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and rejected; Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.\u201d The chorus gives the summation: \u201cLiving He loved me, dying He saved me, buried he carried my sins far away. Rising he justified freely forever; One day he\u2019s coming; O glorious day.\u201d The victorious resurrection had to be preceded by the anguish and horror of the cross and the tomb. The only way to Sunday was through Friday.<\/p>\n

I hope we can take time today to reflect on the reality of what Jesus did for us when He willingly gave Himself as our substitute and paid our sin-debt on the cross. Praise God He didn\u2019t remain in the grave, but rather He conquered death ensuring that because He lives, we too shall live. We wish you a most blessed Easter weekend.<\/p>\n
