Good Friday
On this Good Friday, we're reminded of the profound truth that Jesus' crucifixion was part of God's sovereign plan from the beginning of time. The message from Acts 2 reveals how Peter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, boldly proclaimed Christ's death and resurrection. We see how God used prophecies from David and Isaiah, written centuries before, to foretell these events. This reminds us that our faith is rooted in a carefully orchestrated divine plan, not mere coincidence. As we reflect on Christ's sacrifice, we're challenged to recognize the weight of our sin and the immense love of God who laid our iniquities on His Son. The cross stands as a powerful symbol of both God's hatred for sin and His overwhelming love for us. How might this realization transform our daily walk with God and our appreciation for His grace?
