Good Friday

We had a beautiful Good Friday Communion service at church tonight. The Scripture read and the comments made really made me focus on Jesus' sacrificial death on the Cross. I love so much to jump to Easter and the Resurrection, but I am learning to fully appreciate that, I must focus on the Cross. I don't enjoy hearing what the Romans did to Jesus. It is hard for me to sit there are listen to what they did to Him. And even worse is when I realize it was for MY sin He did it.

On a hill far away,

Stood an old rugged Cross,

The emblem of suffering and shame.

And I love that Old cross

Where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down.

I will cling to the old rugged cross

and exchange it some day for a crown.

"All we like sheep have gone astray. He has turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord has laid on Him, the iniquity of us all".

Isaiah 23:9
