Good Friday.This is the day Jesus defeated death. He defeated our enemy, satan. He laid it all down for you, me, and every other person who ever lived or was yet to be born. He decided that His Father's will was more important than His own will, as He struggled with fear in the garden of Gethsemane. "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." And a little while later, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." And drink it He did. Jesus, the Perfect Sinless One, drank the cup of death so that you and I would never have to taste its bitterness.
And so He defeated death. He tasted and we don't. That's the best exchange ever. We sin, He took the punishment. Forever. Don't ever think that your sin is bigger than the cross and the One who hung there for you.
Good Friday...the day Jesus said, as so many warriors before Him, "It's a good day to die." And He laid down His life for us all. He fearfully, passionately, compassionately, chose His battle and won! He is the Ultimate Warrior.
A very Blessed and wonderful Easter season to all. Remember why we celebrate.
