Whats so good about Good Friday?
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said , it is finished and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost—John 19:3
What makes Good Friday so good? Jesus on this day not only gave His life for mine and yours, but he took on all of our sins, each and every one. The one who knew no sin became sin and acted as a conduit so that we could have a right relationship with God.
When He said "It is Finished" he was including, all of the shame, all of the hurt, and all of the pain that many of us have experienced and that some of us still live with. Because Jesus did what he did we don't have to live defeated lives as puppets on a string being pulled, prodded and poked by satan.
In Christ, we do not have to succomb to the activities of our pasts, nor live mediocre at best lives, where we are hoping and wishing for the best. The bible states that He who has begun a good work in us, will continue it until the day of Jesus Christ.
If we believe what God says then we can proclaim that We are The Healed, We are Overcomers and we are New Creatures in Christ! Once we receive Christ the old man is put away and we can walk in the newness of life. As we study the God's word, we begin to know Him, and the plan that He has for our lives.
He removed all of the doubt and unbelief. It doesn't matter what we have done, or where we came from. No we are no longer drug abusers, murderers, or thieves. We are overcomers, new creatures and victors!
It is finished!
Get into a bible teaching, Jesus believing church and learn more about the sinless lamb who not only changes lifes, but does remarkable transformations (miracles) through the word of God.
God bless,
Pamyla

Reference Scriptures:
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Romans 8:1-- There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Note: The illustration is of a man surrrounded by labels from his past that defined who he was and/or things that were spoken over his life...but the final label is a reflection of the real him...New Creature!
