Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2, NIV)
Good Friday seems to have suddenly come upon us, yet heaven and earth have been inevitably leading up to this day.
The frigid blasts of winter, the drenching downpours of early spring, then suddenly, everything seems to stand still…waiting, as we wait. We think about what it took for Jesus to do the unthinkable..to allow Himself to be tortured and killed so that we could have a chance at eternal life. What love! What sacrifice! We can never fully understand that kind of love and sacrifice. But we can receive the benefit of Jesus' loving sacrifice and live in the good of it as we draw even closer to God.
