Youth News: Apr. 9, 2020

Thursday July 2nd, 2020

Hi Youth,
As we prepare our hearts for this Holy week, I wanted to share a bit about Good Friday. Good Friday celebrates the momentous turn of events of Jesus being crucified on the cross for us. But why call it “Good Friday” and not “Bad Friday” instead? Well to me, the name is appropriate because of what Jesus has done to fulfill the work of God’s plan in reconciling us from sin (death).
Isaiah 53:3-4 says this,
“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Jesus knew about His Father’s plan and willingly suffered for our sake. He died by crucifixion and became the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. The good news is that Jesus’ death was not the end of it. In fact following up with Easter, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. In His resurrection, sin and death were conquered.
Take time this week, to reflect on Jesus and to come together as a family in understanding what Jesus has redeemed in you. Let’s continue to fixate our eyes on Him throughout this time.
Blessings,
Sam
