[quote:KoFFee_:MV8yODMwNjA1XzQ5Njc2MDgyX0YxMTM1RURC] Do you feel drawn to accepting Jesus as your Savior? Now is the time, and today is the day. I was born again in my early 20's and have never regretted that day. It was the day I KNEW God was alive! I can't explain the supernatural effect He had on me, but no one will ever convince me that He doesn't exist. [u]He IS alive, He IS the Way, the Truth and the Life.[/u] [b]God DOES LOVE YOU[/b] and His desire is to save you from your sin. His desire is for you to know and believe in His Son and the sacrifice He provided for your deliverance and atonement. My prayer was not something that was taught to me on that day. I awoke in the middle of the night with the realization that I needed Him. Without even knowing who He was or, at that time, if He existed, I got on my knees and cried out to Him to save me. I told Him these things too, that I didn't even know if He existed, but if He did, to fill my soul with who He was and to forgive me for what I am. I offered my life to Him because it was all I had to give and at that time I felt there was not much to live for...... and then I was born again! The first day of my spiritual life! A baby in Christ. If and when this happens to you, you will understand. Talk to Jesus, come to Jesus. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PANiveIKVX0[/youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PANiveIKVX0 [/quote]

What is the "Good" in this day we call Good Friday?
This day serves to remind us of our Lord's death and what is so good about that?
As a Christian, this day not only reminds me of our Lord's selfless act of giving His life in order to save me,
but reminds me that I can't save myself from my sinfulness.
None of us can. We all need Jesus.
Good Friday is the 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." That is us!
And so we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. We see in that cross
a love so amazing so divine that it loves us even when we turn away from it, or spurn it, or crucify it. 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
whoever he or she may be.
