Today As We Celebrate Good Friday We Celebrate The Greatest Gift Ever Given To All Humanity; The Gift Of Which I Speak Is The Crucifixion Of Christ On The Cross Of Calvary. As Christ Endured His Passion And Death On The Cross, Christ Took Our Sins Upon Himself For The Forgiveness Of Our Sins Offering Us eternal Life. What Greater Love Has No Man Than This, Then To Lay Down Ones Life For Ones Friend. Keeping This In Mind, We Must Accept And Realize Christ Did Not Just Lay His Life Down For His Family And Friends, But He Endured Crucifixion For All Humanity. Therefore I Pose The Following Question, How Many Of Us Today Would Be Willing To Lay Our Lives Down As Christ Did Not Just For A Friend Or Family But To Endure Crucifixion For All Humanity. As Christ Sat In Judgment, Christ Judged not His Accusers But Forgave Them While Suffering Even Death On A Cross When He Said " Forgive Them Father, They No Not What They Do".
As We Celebrate Good Friday, Let Us Take A Moment To Reflect On Todays Readings And Meditate Upon All Those Whom We Love And Whom Love us; Let Us Also Reflect Upon Those Whom Have Wronged Us And From Today Forward Let Us Reconcile Our Differences, Forgive Those Whom Have Wronged Us And Allow God's Grace And Blessings To Flow In And Through Us And Out Pour The Blessings ANd Graces From God Unto Those We Come In Contact With In Our Everyday Lives. Let Us Learn Not To Judge Others, For Judging Others Belongs To Christ Alone; But Instead Let Us Accept Others For Who They Are And Express And Share Our Love With All People, With All Humanity. For In Loving And Forgiving Ourselves For Our Pas Sins We Become Able To Forgive And Love Others No Matter How Badly Their Sins May Be And Learn To Overlook Their Sins And Find The Good, Even If They Are Unable To Find Good Within Themselves.
So Today Let Us Take Time To Begin Living A Christocentric Life Forgiving, Loving And Accepting Everyone For Who They Are. God Bless You All And Have A Blessed And Happy Easter.
