It is a day that serves to remind us well of the ultimate sacrifice of love. I encourage you to take some time between now and this weekend to read Isaiah 53. This prophetical documentation of the crucifixion cannot help but to humble us. In the face of so great a love that would allow God to sacrifice His Son or for Jesus to take on not simply the physical pain but the repulsion of all sin on Him is more than I can comprehend. Although it is rarely mentioned, meditate on how this affected the Spirit of God, He who is the very example of compassion and comfort, to witness and experience what was done to Jesus the Christ.
As we face another opportunity to demonstrate our love for God by coming together to worship and serve, let us be both mindful and thankful for His great love. May God truly bless you this day and everyday as we seek to serve our Lord.
God bless,
Charles
