“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14 NIV
The world, Satan and our flesh tell us
To look out for ourselves and satisfy ourselves first and most often
This is the sinful nature and it has taken hold of us
God has a plan to redeem us
He provided the Way back into a relationship with Him
To live with purpose and it is based on a personal relationship with His One and Only Son
Jesus Christ
He loves you, He gave His life to save you and His way is the only way to God the Father
He came down from heaven and sacrificed His life to save us from our sinful desires
The life, death and resurrection of Jesus is what we reflect on this week and this day
It is ‘Good Friday’ because of Who God is and What Jesus has done for us
Think about it…His Sacrifice as our Savior for our Salvation
“But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 NIV
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 NIV
