Summary
On Good Friday we look at the cross and remember the price Jesus paid, as He took our sin upon Himself.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 NIV
As Jesus continued his journey through passion week, His throne would be a cross, and his crown would be made of thorns. Jesus could have chosen to stop the journey before the cross, but He didn't."
God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." NLT Romans 5:8
"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17
The Daily Still Meditations are written and hosted by Cindy L. Helton, with production from Soundgood Media.
