Good Friday What It Means For Me

Good Friday. Set an alarm for 2 times today; one for 12pm and one for 3pm. At 12 stop and pray to Jesus with a heart filled with thankfulness for what He endured for you. Be mindful during the next 3 hours over His agony. Imagine Him hanging from a cross, not uttering a single objection, enduring the most grievous humiliation and pain, while continually praying, “Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do.” At 3pm, when the alarm sounds, allow your heart to immerse itself into His pain and the giving up of His human spirit. Imagine Him experiencing all this believing in God’s glory, mercy and love. In order to fulfill the scripture He said, “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to His mouth. When Jesus had received the wine, He said, “It is finished.” His journey and miracles before people are complete. The end of his pain inflicted by the community is done. The final words for the end of the fulfillment of the scripture to this day have been spoken. His agony, pain and the carrying of His cross is over. Now, we wait hopefully and faithfully for His resurrection. On Easter Sunday let us celebrate our eternity together. Let us pray, “Thank you Lord, there is a place in heaven waiting for us.”
