A Day to Remember

(This cross was made by artists in El Salvador, Central America.)



Today, Good Friday, is a Holy Day for Christians.

It is a day of sorrow yet one of celebration. Jesus Christ faced death on a cross this day so the sins of His precious children would be forgiven. Such a sacrifice is almost unbelievable. His bruised and bleeding body, wrapped in cloth and spices, was then buried in a tomb. Three days later, He arose from the dead, filling the hearts of His sorrowful followers with unquenchable joy! By dying on a cross, He showed His immense love for His children. The course of history, and millions of lives, were forever changed by Jesus' sacrifice.

Jesus, a humble, gentle servant, became an example for all of us. His death gave His followers life.

Today, Christians remember, with deep sorrow, the pain and agony of His passion.

My own heart is filled to the brim with sadness today, thinking of all Christ went through. While concentrating on His death, I am humbled and cry tears of gratitude.

My wish today for all readers, Christians and non-Christians, alike, is deep and abiding peace.
