GOOD FRIDAY !!
BUT SUNDAY IS COMING !!!!
It's Friday. Jesus is arrested in the garden where He was
praying.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. The disciples are hiding and Peter's denying that he
knows the Lord.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. Jesus is standing before the high priest of Israel,
silent as a lamb before the slaughter.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday Jesus is beaten, mocked, and spit upon.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. Those Roman soldiers are flogging our Lord with a
leather scourge that has bits of bones and glass and metal,
tearing at his flesh.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. The Son of man stands firm as they press the
crown of thorns down into his brow.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. See Him walking to Calvary, the blood dripping from
His body. See the cross crashing down on His back as He
stumbles beneath the load. It's Friday;
But Sunday's a coming.
It's Friday. See those Roman soldiers driving the nails into the
feet and hands of my Lord. Hear my Jesus cry, "Father, forgive
them." It's Friday;
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. Jesus is hanging on the cross, bloody and dying.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. The sky grows dark, the earth begins to tremble,
and He who knew no sin became sin for us. Holy God who will
not abide with sin pours out His wrath on that perfect
sacrificial lamb who cries out, "My God, My God. Why hast thou
forsaken me?" What a horrible cry.
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. And at the moment of Jesus' death, the veil of the
Temple that separates sinful man from Holy God was torn from
the top to the bottom;
But Sunday's coming.
It's Friday. Jesus is hanging on the cross, heaven is weeping
and hell is partying. But that's because it's Friday, and they
don't know it,
But Sunday's coming.
And on that horrible day 2000 years ago, Jesus the Christ, the
Lord of glory, the only begotten Son of God, the only perfect
man died on the cross of Calvary. Satan thought that he had
won the victory. He thought, surely he had destroyed the Son
of God. He even thought, finally, he had disproved the
prophecy God had uttered in the Garden; and the one who was
to crush his head had been destroyed.
I cry EVERY TIME I think of the pain and suffering that He
went thru for me! For You ! For all of us ! His Love for us was
so deep and so real. I cry TEARS.. with THANKS !!
AND KNOW SUNDAY IS COMING !!!
AMEN !!
Have an awesome day in the Lord!
