Good Friday

It's Good Friday, which is the anniversary of Jesus' death on the cross, on of the most important things in the history of the Christian faith. That and the resurrection are the two building blocks upon which all of Christianity sits upon. If you don't believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose agian, then you are not a Christian. Today my pastor delved into how God is perfect, holy, absolutley loving, and absolutely just. What came out of the sermon is that only through the cross, could God be absolutely loving and absolutely just. Someone had to pay the price, and by giving himself, he satisfied his justness, and showed his great love, that he would give himself. His top priority is to magnify himself, and by staying just and loving at the same time, he proclaims his glory, once again, giving us another reason to praise him. I can't do the sermon justice here. It's very hard to explain, but if I can only give you but a taste of the basic thoughts, it will be enough, because it was an amazing message, and really reveals more of the glory of God. I hope I made some sense. I hope you can get the basic idea, because it is deep and incredible. I never thought about it like this, and it all proves, that God is truly holy and perfect and amazing. What a God we serve!
