Good Friday

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17)

This is spoken by Jesus himself.  What beautiful words these are!  Do they bring joy to your soul?  How blessed and overwhelmingly loved we are that the Father should not even hold back His only son!  Let us praise Him and bless His holy name.

Also, what comes to my mind is how we call this Friday before Easter, "Good" Friday.  Though on this day Jesus suffered and died all of that was working for our good.  If we are to be followers of Him, we surely will encounter suffering in our lives also.  But sorrow not, for all suffering comes to "good" in the hands of our loving Lord.
