Terrible things happened to Jesus on that day but we call it Good Friday. That’s because the focus is on the result, the outcome of all He suffered.
He was arrested/imprisoned – I have liberty
He was scourged – By those stripes, I am healed
He was punished – I have peace
He became a curse by hanging on the tree – Every curse is broken in my life
He was rejected – I am accepted into God’s family
He died – I have eternal life
There’s so much more. I can’t tell it all. Words are not enough. What a beautiful exchange.
He took my pain, my sin, my guilt, my shame, my curse
He took my sickness, my infirmities, my condemnation
He took my death sentence
But that’s not how the story ends!
He conquered death and the grave
He disarmed spiritual rulers and authorities – I live above their oppression
On the third day, JESUS ROSE!!! Victoriously… Triumphantly… With Authority (in the words of Kurt Carr in his beautiful song – They Didn’t Know)
Jesus is alive and all who believe in Him have access to all these benefits.
The Bible says ‘If we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved’ – Romans 10:9
If you haven’t done this already, today is a perfect day for you to be saved. If you have, then it’s a good time to rejoice in the Lord and give thanks to Him.
