Isaiah 53:5 - Good Friday

Today is Good Friday. So many people find it hard to call a day like today "good," yet that's the only word that fits. Out of a day that brought pain and loss 2000 years ago came our promise of eternal life and forgiveness. Something so beautiful can only come from God.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed."
--Isaiah 53:5, NIV--
As you go through today I pray you're drawn closer to God and that you're reminded of all that Jesus did for you on that cross.

If you've never heard what Jesus did for you over 2000 years ago today, ask someone that loves you. Find a church having a Good Friday service and listen to what true love sounds like. If all of that sounds too intimidating, email me!

I would love to tell you about the love of Jesus and the sacrifice He made for you so that you may spend eternity in Heaven with Him. He loves you so much!

I have had this song in my head all week...I finally found a beautiful video on Youtube to go along with it. Take 3 minutes to sit back and listen. I pray you're blessed by the true, unconditional, love and sacrifice the song describes.

By His wounds, we are healed! Thank you, Jesus!!
