Good Friday

Today Lindsay and Peter went to the Good Friday service at their church and she imagined what it was like for Christ to have been beaten and had his hands and feet pierced and hung on a cross and suffered such an injustice when he never did anything wrong but he endured the pain to be the sacrifical passover lamb on our behalf. His blood cleanses us from our sins for he could have called on the angels to come and rescue him but it was his love for sinful people that kept him there by by his stripes we are healed.  While we were yet sinners Christ died for us even though we are undeserving of his mercy it is by his death and resurrection we can go to heaven when we die but unfortunately we still have to live in a fallen world and there are a lot of hurting people who need God in their lives.
