Life on earth is
hard. Wars, violence, suffering and death continue to happen. All keep hoping
for peace but wars and violence kept coming. No human effort to build a better
world can guarantee lasting peace. Hope for a “new world” must rest in God, not
man. Death is man’s legacy; life is God’s.
The Lord Jesus
Christ said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will
live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die”
(John 11:25-26).
Good Friday, when
we remember the cruel death of Jesus Christ on the cross, is a day that man
made because of sin. But Resurrection Sunday is God’s Day. He made it. Only the
power of God could have raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Man’s deepest
yearnings for life, power, and hope find fulfillment in the meaning of Easter.
May God help you
as you celebrate this Good Friday.
God bless you.
