Good Friday Reflection 2024
This morning I put on a bracelet with a cross on it. It’s Good Friday. It’s only called “Good” Friday because in the end God died the death of death so that sinners like you and me may live. Writing on the The Fourth Word from the cross, “My God, My God, Why have you forsaken me?” American theologian Stanley Hauerwas says that we are to know “that the Son of God has taken our place, become for…

Jesus’ command - “Take up your cross and follow Me” is much more than a symbol of the difficulties, frustrations and pain we as humans experience in this life. Taking up one’ s cross and following Jesus is something completely different.
Because the cross was an instrument of death, Jesus is referring to our commitment to Him, even unto death, meaning that our obedience to the extreme measure and willingness to die is a vital part of truly being His disciple.
Death on a cross was extremely painful and humiliating, so as followers of Christ He expects us to likewise be willing to endure pain or humiliation for Him — no matter what the cost.
This word picture of 'taking up your cross' paints for us the concept of “death to self” which originates in another saying of Christ in Luke 9:24-25, “For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?” The truth is that NOTHING in this life is worth keeping if it means losing eternal life! Not a job, family, friends, or even your own identity. Discipleship at the core means DISCIPLINE — No Matter What The Cost — but the eternal reward is well worth the temporary pain.
Friend, taking up your cross to follow Christ simply means commitment and obedience to living a disciplined life of obedience to God even if it means giving up your worldly hopes, dreams, possessions - or even your very life if need be.
Christian, are you willing to Take Up That Cross?

Today’s word:
The Surety of God’s Word
Too many doubt or naysay what is God’s word. There should be no doubt for those who walk with Him.
The God of the Bible uses the physics of nature to describe just how sure His word is.
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, …
so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but …
it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
The God of the Bible is not some mythological construct of man. The God of the Bible is who He says He is. This means everything He said, everything He says, He backs up.
If the God of the Bible says He loves you so much that to fix that relationship where He can come near you again and you near Him He would even trade His only begotten Son, not born in sin, that you might live.
The God of the Bible has made a way for you and I to be with Him. That way is Jesus Christ and the Cross.
We celebrate his birth in December.
We acknowledge his death at Passover.
We acknowledge is resurrection three days later.
He is God’s Word sown for us that we might have life everlasting. If we only believe.
Acts 16.31 is as much for today as it was for the Philippean jailer:
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
Believe God.
Receive His Word.
He will ensure what He said will come to pass.
Even to a sinner, one who made willful choices to be separate from Him, like me.
Amen?
‭‭Remember: God loves you, pray for one another, and together we will build the Kingdom of God.

The criminal had it figured out
The criminal had it figured out
One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” Luke 23.39 NET. People love paradoxes about God. Such as this one: Can God create an object so heavy that he cannot lift it? Mostly, such things are nonsense. (more…)

“There is only one religion that has the cross of Jesus Christ at the centre. There’s only one that provides Salvation from sin. There’s only one that provides Salvation by grace and not by works. There’s only ONE where God does it ALL!” - Pastor @GlynBarrett delivering a powerful sermon about the cross at @AudaciousChurch last weekend. • Catch the full message at youtube.com/audaciouschurch - - - - - - #thisaudaciouslife #audaciouschurch #thecross #jesuschrist #salvation #graceofgod #godaboveall #savedbygrace #crossofchrist #letstalkaboutjesus #christiansofinstagram (at Audacious Church) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQAL-Gj0rL/?utm_medium=tumblr

The cross of Christ does more than just purification, it gives us power over habitual sin. The cross of Christ does more than just wash away sin, it gives us the wherewithal to wallop sin! The cross of Christ does more than just clean sin, it enables us to crush sins's grasp over us! #powerofthecross 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.- 1 John 1:7-10 #crossofchrist 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.- 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 #crossofjesus 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save repost @revivevibes @king.of.kings.jesus ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

When we see symbols we usually have a good idea what they mean.
For example the barbershop pole means haircuts, the power button starts electronics, and the radiation symbol indicates danger ahead. Although the cross is the oldest and most recognizable of all symbols, few UNDERSTAND what IT means — and the significance and power behind it.
Today crosses are commonly worn as just another piece of jewelry or seen afixed to church buildings and when seen, most people give little or no thought to it, but if they came to understand the power behind it, they would realize that it is THE single most significant of all symbols!
You see, the cross is a powerful parable in wood of a true story that happened over two thousand years ago where an innocent man died —not for HIS crimes — but for the crimes of all people in all times - past, present and future, and that was Jesus Christ.
If you have never seriously considered who Christ is, why he died, and the power of the cross, today is the day you ought look seriously at understanding this mystery, and come to the “...full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.” (Colossians 2:2)
Friend, if there is ANY One Symbol��that essential to understand, it is this one.
