WHY IT IS CALLED GOOD FRIDAY



GOOD FRIDAY

As a child I wondered why it was thus called
That was the day my Lord was beaten with fists and whips
as His blood mingled with their spit

The day when a plaited crown of thorns was pushed on His brow
When His hands and feet were nailed to that old rugged cross
He being striped of clothing for all mocker to see and sneer

Soldier sat at the foot of His cross and
gambled for His cloak
Around three in the afternoon the sky turned dark

 Jesus cried out to GOD His Father
My God,  My God,  Why have You forsaken Me
Jesus at  that moment took my and your sins upon Himself

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God took His eyes off of Jesus when our sins were placed on Him
A Holy God can not look on sin
thus He had to look away from Jesus

He became the sacrifice to make us worthy to be with God
God now sees Jesus' love and blood when He looks at me
He did that for me and you---He loves us that much

I would hate to know that there was a second in time that
God takes His eyes off of me -
Because of what Jesus did that day I will never have to worry about that

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day I gave my life to Him I was His forever
This is why it is called GOOD FRIDAY
He took our place - mine and yours place -  He took our sins on Himself
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Christians we serve a living Savior
Death could not keep Him
He arose that Easter Sunday

He is in Heaven interceding for me and you
one day soon He will return
what a blessed day that will be

This is the reason it is called Good Friday
Jesus took my place and your place
He gave His life because of LOVE

I bow my heart and my knee in worship of HIM
Love so pure - so divine
He gave His life in place of mine

Matthew 28:6   King James Bible

He is not here: for He is risen, as He said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
