"My God my God why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?" Psalm 22:1 (NIV)
"Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mothers breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mothers womb you have been my God.
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help."
Psalm 22:9-11(NIV)
"I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men have encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me.
They divide my garments among them and casts lots for my clothing." Psalm 22:14-18 (NIV)
"Come let us return to the Lord: He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us that we may live in his presence." Hosea 6:1-2 (NIV)
Anyone who doubts that God will complete what he promises please note the verses you just read. They are quoted from the Old Testament which was written many years before Jesus birth. (Proving the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that God is all knowing.) Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice as our high priest, to bridge the gap to cover our sins. Without Christ's death we would have no Holy Ghost to guide our life. Through Jesus death, burial and resurrection we can say no to our sin nature. Because He rose from the grave, our souls will also rise to live an everlasting life in heaven, if we've accepted Christ as our Savior.
Shouldn't Good Friday be honored more than any other holiday? No one else can save us from our sins, or bring us into everlasting life. Jesus Christ is the only sinless person who has ever lived. As a Christian we have so much to be thankful for regardless of our circumstances, don't you think?
