Why the Cross?

Tomorrow is Karfreitag (Good Friday) or better yet we should say God's Friday. God's people from around the world will be gathering together in church buildings, outside amphitheaters, in houses, underground, etc. to celebrate what Jesus has done for us on the cross. I know that it sounds kind of weird to say that we are celebrating the death of someone, but as most of you know, this was not just the death of anyone, this was the death of Jesus, God in the flesh. This was the death of a Man who did not deserve it, for He was innocent and yet He was treated as one who was completely guilty. The reality of it all is that if He did not die in our place, we would be completely condemned to death, completely separated from God for all of eternity. And so this is why I say that we are going to celebrate His death upon the cross. Because of His death, I now LIVE!

WHY THE CROSS?
Tomorrow morning we are going to be having our service at 10:30 and we are going to consider this question, "Why the Cross?" Once again I want to ask that you would please be in prayer, not only for myself, but also for all of those who will be proclaiming forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray that we would be faithful to proclaim the truth of who Jesus is and what He did for us! Pray for salvation - that the lost would realize that they are in need of a Savior! Please read 2 Corinthians 4:4 and pray against the god of this age.

INVITE SOMEONE
I also want to encourage you once again to invite someone. Wherever you will be going to attend a Good Friday Service. Invite someone. Bring someone. People need to hear the Gospel. This is the greatest time to bring them!

God Bless You!
