Today we commemorate the most sorrowful passion that our Lord Jesus Christ passed through from the Garden of Gethsemane to his death on the Cross at Calvary for our sakes and that of the whole world.

Lord Jesus for the sake of your most sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world, Amen.

Today is the day Jesus went into hell to show satan who is boss while the tombs broke open and the saints in the tombs walked into the cities to show themselves to the people about 2000 years ago.

Only if there was youtube then so we can watch the events of this victory as they happened.

Una dey commemorate, una don finish the actual work wey Jesus Christ send una to do? undecided
Last I checked, not a single one of the almost 100 commandments Jesus Christ infact gave to His followers lists anything about celebrating His death or resurrection, not even His sneezing, so I am not certain what this una good Friday dey be for since e no concern God at all at all nor does it honor Him. undecided


This is instead the day the Easter bunny disappears underground to go lay its colorful chocolate eggs all over the place so that lucky folks like me can, on Easter bunny day, go Egg hunting. HAPPY Easter bunny holiday ! grin

Does good Friday alone call for sober reflection? What happens after the resurrection Sunday morning? How do we live our live afterwards? Does the Holy week end on Sunday and our normal life style continue? The nails,thorny crown on his Head, mockery, spits, stones thrown at Him , thorough beatings with hard objects are reminder to His mission on the cross. The purpose of that journey, is it achieved in your life today? Happy Easter in advance.

I WAS ONCE A CHRISTIAN

BUT NO LONGER, I REALISED JESUS WAS OVERHYPED


Every Good Friday, Christian pastors stand in their pulpits and tell the biggest lie of the Christian faith.


In their zeal to overstate the suffering of Jesus – as if being tortured and nailed to a cross for six hours isn’t bad enough – they will attempt to convince people in the pews that Jesus also experienced a spiritual separation from the Father and that, for the first time in all Eternity, the bond between Father and Son was severed.

This is never taught anywhere in the Bible.

Not once.

Next, they will add one last insult by confidently asserting that the Father turned His face away from Jesus in that same moment because of all of that awful sin – your sins and mine – that were laid upon him.

But…there isn’t one single verse – not one hint, anywhere – that the Father turned away from Jesus at any time.

It’s just not there.

And yet, somehow, in hundreds of thousands of Christian Churches across the globe, where pastors routinely claim to teach/preach ONLY what the Bible says and not what they wish it said, or any man-made doctrines, they will quite ironically do exactly that.

Where is the verse that claims the Father and the Son were ever separated from one another?

Where is the scripture that affirms that the Father turned His face away from the Son?

There aren’t any verses that say these things.

Yet no one ever challenges these outright lies or questions this fabricated narrative.

Every Good Friday, and every Easter, preachers, teachers and pastors repeat this absolute fairy tale theology over and over again until no one questions it and everyone believes it’s the Gospel truth.

But, it’s not. It’s a big, fat, huge lie.

The closest thing to a proof text for these two huge lies is found only in one place, and even then it says nothing even close to what pastors try to make it say.

Here’s the verse: “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabaktanei?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”


“…They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.” [v.18]

Wow. That’s pretty amazing. Jesus quotes the first line of a well-known Hebrew worship song while on the cross which predicts his own crucifixion.

But, let’s keep reading that same chapter in Psalms to see if there are any other clues about why Jesus might have referenced it. If we do we’ll read this startling statement:

“For God has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.” [v.24]

Anyone who halfway tries to study the reference Jesus makes to Psalm 22 cannot help but notice that the Scriptures deny the idea that God would turn his face away from Jesus as they pierce his hands and his feet, and as they divide his clothing and cast lots for his garment. No! It emphatically and decisively proclaims that God HAS NOT HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM HIM!

What more proof do we need?

How about what Jesus himself says?

“A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.” [John 16:32]

So, if your pastor or Sunday School teacher tries to convince you that Jesus experienced separation from God on the cross, or that the Father turned his face away from Jesus as he was being crucified, feel free to challenge their poor scholarship.

Better yet, urge them to preach the truth rather than spread lies. Encourage them to preach what the scriptures actually teach:

“That God was in Christ not counting our sins against us but reconciled the World to Himself” [2 Cor. 5:19]

“God is love and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.” [1 John 4:16]

I've been playing Cece winans since morning and also in sober reflection of the ordeals our Lord Jesus Christ went through on the cross just for me, chief among sinners.

Permit me to drop the first stanza and the chorus here.

Don't think for a moment
I never felt the pain
You can't imagine
The hurt and the shame
They put the nails through my hands
Pierced my side, please, understand

It wasn't easy, but it was worth it
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy, but it was worth it
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.


Despite all that he went through for me, I still swim in sin everyday. I am so sorry father. Give me the grace for me to do that which pleases you Lord.

I am grateful for your unconditional love for me.

Sober reflection mood.

1 John 2:2 (KJV)
reads: "And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.


Christ died for the whole world, He died for every individual...accept Him today and have everlasting life.
