As we come to that time of the year we call Easter, a time we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord, today would be recognized as Good Friday. It seems odd that we call a day on which our Savior and Lord, Jesus was crucified and died. But it was good, because He was born to die. He, Jesus created us to fellowship with Him. He knew before He created us that we would rebel and the only way to redeem us was for Him to come to die for us on a cross. He knew this! Yet He still created us. What Love.
John 15:13 (NKJV)
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
You know this is even deeper than the verse above. We are told in the Bible that we are His enemies before we give our lives to Him and become His children. Now we might die for the ones we love, but to die for the ones who hate us? Well that takes the infinite love that only God has.
As you go through this season, focus on who God is and what He did for us and why. Accept Him as your Lord and Savior today.
