Good Friday has always been a day that is hard to put into words for me. When I think about Jesus bearing my shame, my guilt, my sin, and the agony He faced as He was beaten and crucified, I simply can't express what my heart feels. Its a day that tears stream down my face just thinking about. To think, His sacrifice made a way for me to be called a child of God!

Although I can't express in words what this day means to my heart, the Word of God always has the words. This morning I read Romans chapter 8, and it so beautifully points to why Jesus came. I especially love the beginning and the end of the chapter. He came so we could be free from the law of sin and death; And because He laid down His life, anyone who surrenders their life to Jesus are now called sons and daughters of God!

This was all done because of the greatest love the world will ever know, the love that passes understanding and knowledge, the love of God that runs so deep and so wide, that He sent His Son in the flesh to bear our punishment for our sins so we could be reconciled to Him! How deep the Fathers Love for Us! Thank you Jesus for your obedience and laying down your life so we could experience life and life more abundantly!

On this Good Friday, take a moment to reflect on Romans 8 (verses 1-4, 31-39) today, and I promise you will be blessed!

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one.

Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
