What a wonderful day it is. I have have always felt a bit of sadness and guilt when Good Friday came around remembering Christ dying on the cross for us...until tonight. I went to our Cross Service at church and what a wonderful message was given. We are to look at the cross and the death of Jesus Christ as the most wonderful blessing ever given to us. We are to have deep thanks and gratefulness and remember that God is showing us His character. WOW. Our speaker (one of our pastors) used the comparison of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22. Abraham showed his faithfulness to God by being willing to sacrifice his only son as God asked. God showed His true character by sparing Isaac and providing a ram stuck in a bush to take his place. Our speaker asked us how we thought Isaac must have felt looking into the eyes of the ram and knowing that he took his place on that alter. That is how we should look at and remember our Lord and Saviour. How humble and blessed I feel tonight as I write this and His magesty and glory will be praised as we remember His arising from the grave and into the heavens!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

I am anticipating a wonderful Easter service through your beautiful voice and that of Ginny. I do think the Good Friday service really helped to prepare my heart for Sunday. In the midst of whatever may be going on in our lives, we do possess the best blessing of our lives--our Saviour who died for us and arose again--our Hope.
