The 3rd day after Jesus was crucified and buried,
Jesus took on our sins and was crucified for us on the cross. By doing so, he was able to redeem us of our sins and of judgement, allowing us to be presented as righteous in front of God. His resurection is our salvation. And that is the true essence of Good Friday and Easter.
Good Friday commemorates when Jesus died for us. And Easter is when he resurrected.
So when we celebrate this, we celebrate the finished work. We celebrate His love for us. His willingness to take our sins as His and enduring all the persecution Himself. Even for those who have not been born and have yet believed in Him. He died for every Christian across time who would believe in Him.
It’s not about bunnies and eggs…. Jesus did not come back as a rabbit or get reborn. He came back exactly as He was before the crucifix Tian, except for the additional scars, nail wounds.
And He didn’t blame anyone for what He went through. Instead, He asked God to forgive all of them; all of Us.
I believe that what was said and done there, is applicable even till today. Everyone that has been criticising Jesus as something He isn’t. And Him asking for forgiveness as He died, was applicable to humans across the entire length of time.
Jesus… you saw all of us in 1 linear timeline and know every single one Christian that you have saved.
I believe that me and my partner and our future kids are in that group, even if they aren’t yet.
Thank you for giving us this precious gift of forgiveness and right standing with God that allows us to ask of whatever we want and know that God will grant us so long as we have faith.
Happy Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.
