Good Friday

“Jesus died for our sins.”

What does that mean?  How do you explain it to yourself...let alone anyone else?

 (Take a moment and write your thoughts.)

Take some time and imagine Jesus going to the cross...looking at you....  What would he say to you?

Would you be willing to die for someone else?

Our men & women in the military know that they may have to put their lives on the line for their brothers and sisters in uniform...for you and me.

Peter and the disciples spoke forcefully that none of them would betray or deny Jesus... yet we know that each one of them did just that.

We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. ⁸  But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.             –Romans 5:7-8 (The Message)

Does Jesus ‘work’ for you?  What does it mean to you that you are loved that much? -- P/T
