Good Friday

With Good Friday being tomorrow I wanted to remember our Lord, Jesus Christ. It was he who inspired me to start this blog, sounds silly I know. But the title of this blog is a true reflection of what Jesus Christ has done to me as a saviour. You're sitting there asking yourself, how can this women blog about reality tv, commodores songs, and relationships and now profess her inner most thoughts on what some consider a controversial topic.

Good Friday is a christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. When Jesus was presented to the high priest t be judged, he asks Jesus to respond under solemn oath, saying "I adjure you, by the Living God, to tell us, are you the Anointed One, the Son of God?" Jesus testified in the affirmative, "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." The high priest condemns Jesus for blasphemy. Blasphemy was condemed and after much back and forth among high preists, leaders and the public Jesus was sentenced to death.

After the whippings and floggings, Jesus carried his cross to the hill where he was crucified. It is said he hung on the cross for 6 hours. Thinking of the agonizing pain he endured, all I can do is admire him for speaking his truth, being genuine and suffering the hurt from those that could not handle it.

I hold Jesus in my heart and I have offered up myself to do his work where needed. This is not an easy committment to make, but it is the right decision for me.
