Happy Good Friday to you! I cannot think of a better subject for the Friday before Easter than the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The prophets of old said that He would come. John the Baptist had the privilege of saying "There He is!" Jesus told the woman at the well that He was the One. The world and its prince were glad to say, "He died." We have with our brothers and sisters in Christ, the disciples, saints, martyrs, and apostles, a great privilege to say, "He lives!"
The cross paid the price, but the resurrection gave us the promise. We testify to the life of the Lamb of God that we may share in His triumph. Because He lives, we live eternally in Christ. Good Friday is Good News applied to our sin debt, but Resurrection Sunday is the news of eternal life we live for. Jesus did so much for us in one weekend that we hardly do justice in our Easter celebration. Praise God that each year we have the opportunity to add to the celebration of Christ's death on the cross and resurrection from the grave.
You or I may have to work through this weekend, but we will celebrate Christ in our heart. The time of His return is near. The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world has not forgotten us down here. Have a great Easter weekend in Christ Jesus!
