Good move. The day churches will start investing money in people, that is the day I will change my mind about churches. For now they are enriching themselves.

Great job.

Quite commendable.

Last Words

Friday, April 14, 2017
"Father, forgive them; for they do not know what
they are doing."
Luke 23:34 NASB

 

On this special Friday, believers throughout the world pause to consider the death of Jesus. This was called "good" because of all Jesus endured. What it meant.

A church in Cádiz, Spain, developed a special tradition for each "Good Friday." The cathedral was draped in black cloth, with the only light emanating from a large lamp hanging in the cathedral's center. Parishioners entered, sitting in silence, their thoughts shaped by the solemn darkness.

At noon, all doors were closed. Then, the bishop ascended the pulpit, speaking the first words Jesus spoke from the cross. After brief comments, he descended from the pulpit and fell on his knees before the altar.

The process was repeated seven times, challenging the congregation to ponder each series of words. To worship Jesus. To fall at His feet in their hearts.

In 1785, knowing that music was crucial for this service, church leaders asked Franz Joseph Haydn, then the world's leading composer, to write some special music. His work, "The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross," debuted in that church on Good Friday, 1787.

This extraordinary composition became part of the repertoire of many groups throughout the world. In response to the demand, Haydn developed four separate versions.

Yet, when just playing the notes, one elite group of musicians sensed that, in their performances, something was missing. Everything seemed too formal. So cold.

But everything changed when Jesus' words were spoken aloud during the performance. These words made the experience "transforming." It was so overwhelming that one musician admitted, "I could barely read the music for the tears in my eyes."

The words Jesus spoke that day are powerful. Pointing us to the deeper meaning. Today, pause to think about all that Jesus said and did, when He died on that cross, for you.
Today's Inspiring Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for me. Thank You that I can be forgiven of all my sins. Help me to share this Good News with others. In Your name. Amen. Thanks. From FESCO.

I hate it wen denominations are addressed instead of Christianity in totality and Catholics do this Rubbish most times

What have the churches done that we have not done x10?? all Catholics were asked to skip a meal daily and save the money equivalent during this 40 days Lenten period and the money was given to the poor at the end of the 40th day. what did your church do??

God bless them. Jesus loves us helping the needy.

Beautiful. I know most churches do it but we don't loud it. I think it's high time we start louding it to counter the evil report being broadcast from the church by the world.

YES , THAT'S WHAT REAL CHRISTIANITY SHOULD BE ABOUT .
