Easter Week Devotionals: Friday

Why do we call it “Good” Friday?

The only Man with no sin of His own, was betrayed, arrested, convicted at a mock trial by jealous and angry hypocrites, brutally beaten, tortured, abandoned, shamed, and killed.

Good?

Only for those who receive the gift that He paid so much to offer.   A gift can be offered.  But it must be received.  Jesus explained it Himself in John 3:16 (also read previous and following verses if you haven’t in a while).

Be sure to turn up your audio, and listen to these two short verses from the Old Testament, PROPHESYING SPECIFICALLY about the crucifixion of Christ, centuries before the fact:

Isaiah 53: 4 – 5

 

Psalm 22: 16 – 18

 It’s Friday.  

BUT SUNDAY’S COMING!!!
