Good Friday versus Bad Friday
Shouldn’t Good Friday before Easter really be known as Bad Friday? After all, Jesus Christ was crucified on a wooden cross and died a horrific death. The answer is “No.” Romans 8:28 in the Bible says, ”And we know that in ALL things God works for the GOOD of those who LOVE him, who have been CALLED according to his purpose.” Jesus Christ died on the cross for YOU; THAT’S how much He loved YOU. No matter what you have ever done bad, Jesus paid for ALL of it on the cross, and NOTHING (did you read that word “nothing”) can keep you from eternal life in Heaven OTHER THAN to deny Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
The Unforgivable Sin
Rejecting Jesus Christ as the one and only Savior leaves an unbeliever without any hope for salvation. Therefore, rejecting the one and only pardon is the unpardonable sin. John 3:36: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.”
Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day” (John 6:44 NIV). This means it is God who chooses us; we do not choose Him.
You can have a future in Heaven, but only God can save you – not a pastor or preacher or someone telling you “repeat-after-me” phrases. If you feel a stirring in your heart, it may be God who is drawing you to Him. Accept His prompting, and invite Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior into your heart. You can pray, “Jesus, come in to my heart. I proclaim you my Lord and Savior. Forgive me of my sins.”
If Jesus had not died on the cross AND…risen from the dead, then your faith would be worthless, and there would be no afterlife. That’s why GOOD Friday is GOOD Friday, not BAD Friday.
