Good Friday

"But the servant was pierced because we had sinned. He was crushed because we had done what was evil. He was punished to make us whole again. His wounds have healed us." - Isaiah 53:5

It's always a time in the year where we once again commemorate the death of our LORD Jesus Christ upon the cross. Being thankful that He has been the sacrificial Lamb for our sins and remembering how we can only come to the Father through Him.

The message of the Gospel is so simple and yet so profound. It all revolves around the love that God has for us, how He wants us to have the best and how he wishes good for all of us. Good Friday is yet another reminder to us about this great love that He had, has and always will have for us. It reminds us that Christianity isn't so much of a religion, but of a relationship.

Grace is giving us what we do not deserve, while mercy is taking away what we deserve.
