Crucify Him!

                                                                    


  "But they cried out, Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate said unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then he delivered Him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led Him away." John 19:15-16.
    How fortunate we as believers are. To have someone who loved us enough to die for us! And not just anyone...the very real Son of God. Sent to suffer punishment on our behalf, that we deserved not Him.
   "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. Not only is He our Saviour, but He calls us His friends! Better yet, we who have accepted His offer of salvation, get to spend eternity with Christ in God! Remember He has risen. Death could not hold Him And He is at the right hand of the Father interceding for we poor mortals!  " He is not here, but is risen: remember how He spoke to you when He was in Galilee, saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again." Luke 24:6-7. Praise God for the third day!
    On this Good Friday, let us reflect on the cost Christ paid. In His humaness He felt all the pain and disgrace that was meant for us. Thank you Jesus! Thank you Father God! Thank you Holy Spirit!
