Hearts Prepared – Good Friday!
It’s a few hours before we head to church for our Good Friday service. It’s been a day of spiritual preparation, not in any organised manner as such, but one where Helen and my hearts have been just focused on this blessed time. The day in which we remember and celebrate the crucifixion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ – Good Friday! If we are excited over 2,000 years on from the event, what emotions would have been pumping through our Lord? We are told in places and parts about Christ’s leading into this day. It was on His lips three years earlier when He said to His mother at a wedding, that it was not time yet…the hour has not yet come…That was three years prior to the day! But even earlier in Jesus life at the age of 12 He told His stepfather Joseph and His mother Mary then, that He must be about His Father’s business…I pray that we try to comprehend fully what this day, Good Friday means to each one of us. Secondly I pray that our lives manifest more than just on certain days, our love for our Lord and our commitment to “be about our Father’s business!” Easter Sunday is coming, prepare your hearts for that day! For the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the sure foundation and power of the Gospel and the very things that separate Christianity from all other religious beliefs – Be sure to Celebrate Easter in 2011 and give the due glory, time and preparation to honour Almighty God! Our Saviour and Lord!
