Great News!

Ah, Good Friday. A time to remember what Christ did for us. To remember His sacrifice, to remember His journey. To remember His suffering, to remember His death. God became man to die for you. For your family. For your children. For your children’s friends. For your friends. For your enemies.

And then on Sunday comes Easter. When we remember God’s mercy, His love for us, for all His created-even those who have not yet accepted Him. We remember new life for Christ, and ourselves. We remember that He defeated death and rose from the grave. We remember that Satan has no victory. I can’t help but smile when I think about how happy Satan must have been when Christ died, and how unbelievably crushed he became when Christ rose. Oh Death, where is your sting, oh hell, where is your victory?!

Take time to read about that first Good Friday and that first Easter in the gospels this weekend. You can find them in Matthew chapters 26-28, Mark 14:10-chapter 16, Luke chapters 22-24, and John chapters 18-20. Meditate on how great our God is and how much He loves you. Think about how this should impact our everyday life and compare that to how it is having an impact on our everyday life. This is our Good News, our great News, our life-changing News! Are we living like it is?

Be blessed and be a blessing this Easter,

Jill
