Grace Ministry Mangalore wishes blessed Good Friday 2018. Praying that the Lord holds you in His love & blesses you with His grace on this day.
From the book of Genesis all the way through Revelation, blood is a major part of the picture. In Genesis 3, we find God making the FIRST sacrifice. when Adam and Eve sinned, God sacrificed an animal to provide skins to cover their nakedness. And in the New Testament we're told of the blood of Jesus the LAST sacrifice - offered by God to cover the nakedness of our sin.
This day is symbolic of the win of good over evil because it is believed that Christ died in 33 AD for the sake of humanity; he bore the sacrifice on behalf of the rest of humankind and is considered the bridge between God and mortals. It is written in gospels that Judas, one of the twelve disciples of Christ, betrayed him for thirty silver coins to the Sanhedrin. Accused of blasphemy, Christ was sentenced to death and crucified with two criminals.
During his interrogation by the High Priest, Christ was silent. In the solemn oath, the High Priest asked, 'I adjure you, by the Living God, to tell us, are you the Anointed One, the Son of God?" of Christ, who replied by saying, "You have said it, and in time you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty, coming on the clouds of Heaven."
Three days later, Christ was resurrected from the dead on Easter Sunday.
HE showed us the way, HE has long been gone and yet in our hearts, HIS name shines on. Wishing you a Holy Friday!
