Good Friday

As we prepare to celebrate Resurrection Weekend, I could not help but recall the sacrifice our Savior went through for us. As I was reading Matthew's account today, I am always awe struck by the following passage:

The Soldiers Mock Jesus
Matthew 27:27-31
"... the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him."

I am reminded of our Savior who endured much for me this day. I am grateful for each of you and I pray that today you feel the love of God through the gift of the Cross.

Grateful for Calvary.
