As many celebrate on this day the death of Jesus on the cross, we need to be reminded in the midst of all the commercialization and degradation of this most holy of seasons what the true meaning of Good Friday and Easter is:
"Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins"
He said that greater love hath no man than this - that a man lay down his life for his friends.
We weren't born his friends, but his enemies - because we were born in sin - yet he counted us as his friends when He died for us! Isn't that love?
