Well it is Good Friday, and for Jesus followers, that is a
time for sad yet wonderful memories. Someone sinless took upon himself the sins
of everyone else so that we may have eternal life. Wow, for God to send his one
and only son, just for us is incredible.
John 3:16-17; KJV, For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not
his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
According to the Ilumina Bible program,
THE MEANING OF MESSIAH:
“The title of Messiah came from the Hebrew, mashiach, and
means "anointed one." Christos, or Christ, refers to an individual
who is set apart to serve God.” It continues to say; “Messiah is a title for
Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. In the Old Testament, God told how he
would send the Messiah to rescue his people, to make everything right, and to
destroy evil. The Jews looked forward to the arrival of this Jewish hero but rejected
Jesus Christ because they expected someone different. Instead of a soldier,
Jesus was a servant. Instead of being a mighty king, Jesus died on a cross. The
Jews did not recognize God's plan for Jesus as the Messiah, but Jesus still
saved those who believed in him by his death on the cross. He came back from
the dead and now rules in heaven above.”
Yes it is Friday, Good Friday, but hang on as Sunday is
coming!
