Drawing Closer: An Everyday Guide for Lent

DAY 39 OF 40

Day 39 - Good Friday: It is Finished

Have you ever seen the Mel Gibson movie The Passion of the Christ? It is compelling and horrible, all at the same time. To inflict such pain on another human defies reason. To willingly submit yourself to that pain and sacrifice your life for all people does the same.

And yet, that is what Jesus did.

We see the symbol of the cross often, but do we truly consider its ramifications? Jesus endured such suffering and death for our salvation. He bore all our sins before we repented, before we loved Him, before we chose to follow Him.

And He did this for our redemption.

Great power occurred on the cross despite its grim and dark reality. Spend time today in gratitude and repentance, remembering the cost of your redemption.
