Ever wondered why is Good Friday called "Good"? on this yearly calendar date where many all over recognised as a public holiday?
How good can it be when we remember that Jesus Christ (2 Cor 5:21 "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God") was crucified on the cross to die for us thousands of years back? That kind of pain and agony that he went through at Gethsemane before his death? Just for you and me? To be reconciled us back to the Creator Father God - when we know we are sinners who needed badly the way through Him to gain eternal life?
Life is fragile. Just this week alone, 2 friends suffered some form of kidney distress : one whose body swelled and increased weight of more than 9kg in one week and the other who had creatine level rose above 100,000 (against that of less than hundreds) due to exceptional muscle enzyme released over a S$50 course of SPINNING (stationary bike exercise! New to me!!). Thankfully, both who were hospitalised for almost a week are now stable. Thank God. Yes thank God for giving us 2 kidneys to be the filtration organs we often taken for granted.
Well, so why is Monday so far Friday and Friday so near to Monday...
And, why is a Friday so Good to remember when Jesus Christ had to die...
Just as why the Head and heart is only 18 inches apart yet, the head and heart knowledge can be miles apart?
Alas in life, we recognise the mystery of many wonders on earth. If we care to slow down to look around.
Our body itself is His wonderful creation.
My classmate's testimony below. The lungs which we took for granted. The air that we breathe. The nostrils. The mouth. The tongue. The saliva . The teeth that helps to chew our food. The gullet. The wind pipe. The vertebrae , the bones that held our head and body upright. The bones in our feet to hold and walk...the intestines - big and small..the hairs numbered on our head known by Him...
Blessed Good Friday 2017! Be truly blessed by the sharing below. To God Be the Glory!
