Good Friday – We are Loved and Forgiven

Be Still and Know – The Fray

 

 
Be still and know that I’m with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I’m with you
Be still, be still, and know
When darkness comes upon you
And colours you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I’m with you
And I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know
And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still
If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know that I’m with you
Be still and know I am.
 
 

Good Friday is a reminder of the awe-inspiring compassion and sacrificeof Jesus Christ.

In his short life, Jesus spoke of the power of love, forgiveness, and truth in our lives and not of violence, fanaticism, or revenge.

He urged his followers to humbly walk the path of goodness and loveand he showed this through his own example.

Good Friday is a mirror held up by Jesus so that we can see ourselves in all our stark reality, and then it turns us to that cross and to his eyes and we hear these words, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Selah

 

 
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

There is no faith in Jesus without understanding that on the cross we see into the heart of God and find it filled with mercy for the sinner.

Jesus was led to a cross, and that cross ultimately proved to be the gateway to freedom and forgiveness for each one of us.

We are so loved and we are not alone.

I am Not Alone by Kari Jobe

 

 
When I walk through deep waters
I know that You will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow
I will not fear
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me
In the midst of deep sorrow
I see Your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me
I am pressing into You
Lord, You fight my every battle
Oh, and I will not fear
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me
I am not alone
I am not alone
You will go before me
You will never leave me
You amaze me
Redeem me
You call me as Your own
You amaze me
Redeem me
You call me as Your own
You’re my strength
You’re my defender…
