Even in Bad Times: Good Friday

Spons: www.cailorfleming.com/  https://chickfilasouthernpark.com/  https://www.hbkcpa.com/consultants/joseph-c-ledford/ Phil 2:8-9 Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every other name.

The reports of Easter being canceled have been greatly exaggerated. 

Sure, we need to pray and worship differently this year, but the holy day and holiday ain't going anywhere, Capisce?

It's still Good Friday ... which will still be followed by Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. 

And what better sign could the world receive right now than the reminder that everything is going to be okay?

Two thousand years ago, the sacrifice of one man led to salvation for all of us.

Take heart; there is hope in the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This year, next year, every year.  Forevs. 

Have faith. Stay strong. Don't be afraid.

Lk 23:46 Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
In you, O LORD, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your justice rescue me. Into your hands I commend my spirit; you will redeem me, O LORD, O faithful God.  For all my foes I am an object of reproach, a laughingstock to my neighbors, and a dread to my friends; they who see me abroad flee from me. I am forgotten like the unremembered dead; I am like a dish that is broken.  But my trust is in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God. In your hands is my destiny; rescue me from the clutches of my enemies and my persecutors.”  Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your kindness. Take courage and be stouthearted, all you who hope in the LORD.
 
Reading 2 Heb 4:14-16; 5:7-9
Brothers and sisters: Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. In the days when Christ was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
