Good Friday, April 7, 2023 | 5 Days
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name…
_Paul the Apostle (Philippians 2:8-9)
I remember hearing about a lady who put a beautiful potted plant on her desk.
Throughout the day different co-workers would stop by and comment on how they loved her potted plant. It came to a screeching halt when one of them bent down to smell the flowers on the plant and discovered that it was an artificial plant. After that the complements stopped.
The lady who owned the plant commented, “Apparently something has to be able to die to be worth loving.”
I think she’s on to something.
I know it sure gets to the point concerning the significance of Jesus, Calvary, and Good Friday.
The ONE THING for today: The fact that Jesus died (for you and me, no less!) is an indicator that He is worthy of our love and worship.
