Good Friday

On this day I woke up and treated it like any other day. One difference was the annoyance that my bank was closed.

But then, after I got home from town, I sat still for a minute and I realized today is Good Friday, not some bank holiday, but the day when Jesus began His journey to Golgatha.

What an amazing thing He did. Oh, the torture and abuse that He suffered for you and me so that we could be forgiven for our sins. He went to the cross and paid the debt that we are incapable of paying so that we could be with Him in eternity.

And yet for most of us, as we go through this day, we think only of it as another holiday. A day off work, a day to shop, a day to think only of ourselves...

Lord forgive us, yet again, for taking for granted what You did for us so many years ago.
