Isaiah 15
Today is Good Friday - Holy Friday - the day the church commemorates Christ being crucified on the cross. Today we know that this day leads to Easter, the day we celebrate Christ being reborn, that his death was a payment to God for our sins and that if we believe in Him and repent our sins are forgiven. How convienient we know the whole story, that Good Friday is the beginning of Christs resurrection and our joy. I can only imagine that on the day of Christs death on the cross His followers and family did not see the future and they went up to the high places to weep, they wailed from the rooftops and public squares, were prostrate in their anguish, much like "A Prophecy Against Moab".

I thought the same thing. The line that grabbed me today was "They pour into the streets wearing black."
ReplyDeleteA handful of us worshiped at 1 pm. Our conversation yesterday about crushing and power was ever on my mind as they nailed Jesus to the cross.
Thank God that we have the Word (i.e. the Bible) and that the Word became flesh. Thank God we have the church, that we have been chosen and drawn together to be the body of Christ on the rock, representing him to the world without fear...other than that our lives will never be the same.
How blessed I am to be counted among God's children. Thank you Lord for given us your Son to free us from death.
