Good Friday and Jesus' Sacrifice

Here is a Good Friday message that my husband wrote in Iraq two years ago. I think it will be good for you to read. Jesus' sacrifice on Good Friday made it possible for sinful human beings to go to Heaven. Thank you, Jesus for dying for me!

Now from April 6, 2007:

Happy Good Friday to each of you on this wonderful spring day.
While you were sleeping in the night, Jesus was praying for you. He loved you then and he loves you now. Even though he was nervous and scared about what was going to happen to him, he still remembered to pray for you.
While you were sleeping in the night the religious leaders came and arrested Jesus. They falsely accused him of all sorts of things.
Then they beat him and carried him off to a weak-kneed ruler who allowed bad people to do bad things to a good person. It was not fair but it was all part of the plan.
While you are going about your day, Jesus will be on trial for his life. The people will finally decide that he needs to die. The same people who witnessed his miracles have been mislead by the bad people. They want a murderer to be released so they can kill an innocent man.
About the time you go to eat lunch, they will hang him on a cross where he will die a horrible death. He will hang for three hours while the insects munch on his raw flesh and his life's blood flows freely down the cross. While he hangs there, his lungs will fill with fluid making it hard for him to breath.
About the time school gets out in the afternoon, Jesus will cry out, "It is finished". The curtain in the temple will tear in two and dead people will come alive. A centurion will say, "Surely this man was the Son of God". In other words, we have killed an innocent man.
While you are watching the news on TV this evening, people will be preparing Jesus for burial. By the time you go to bed, he will have been dead for seven hours.
Even though you will probably not think about him all day today, Jesus has had you on his mind.
God Bless You.....
