✝️ The Ultimate Sacrifice:
The Deepest Message of Good Friday
The message of Good Friday – a soul-touching message that reveals the deep truths of sin, love, forgiveness, and eternal life. The cross of Jesus changed the history of humanity. This message is of utmost importance for your soul and eternal future.
✨ 1. The Mystery of Good Friday – Why the Cross?
Good Friday brings to mind for many only the day Jesus died. But its essence, mystery, and power go much deeper. Jesus’ death was not an accident, it was God’s preordained plan – a wonderful combination of His infinite love and His judgment on sin.
“He gave himself as the Lamb to take away the sin of the world.” – John 1:29
Why the cross? Because our sin is so serious that the only punishment for it could be death. But God’s love is so great that He took that punishment Himself.
2. The Depth of Sin – The True State of Our Soul
Today’s man appears physically alive, but spiritually dead. Man’s problem is not just poverty, illiteracy, or injustice – man’s root problem is sin.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” – Romans 3:23
Sin separated our souls from God. Therefore, sacrifice was necessary to reconcile us to God. Animal sacrifices were temporary, but Jesus’ sacrifice was permanent and complete.
3. The Cross of Jesus – The Furnace of Love and Justice
The cross is the supreme proof of love. God crucified himself in our place – he bore the wrath we should have borne.
“God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
The cross was not a misfortune, it was a throne of victory. It proclaimed God’s victory over sin, over death, and over hell.
4. Jesus’ last words – “It is finished”
Jesus’ last words on the cross were: ” It is finished ” (Greek: Tetelestai ). This means not just death, but the work is done – the debt is paid, salvation is available.
Jesus opened the door to a new era:
- No longer is there a priest, but Jesus is the High Priest.
- Now the veil of the temple has been torn – everyone can have direct access to God.
5. The 7 Sentences on the Cross – The Deep Meaning of Each Sentence
- “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” – Forgiveness and mercy.
- “Today you will be with me in paradise.” – Immediate salvation.
- “Oh, mother, he is your son.” – Love and responsibility.
- “I am thirsty.” – Human suffering.
- “My God, why have you forsaken me?” – The pain of a broken relationship.
- “It’s done.” – The rescue operation is over.
- “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” – Complete surrender.
6. Good Friday – What does it mean to me?
Good Friday is not just a religious holiday. It is the gateway to our spiritual revival.
- If you are guilty – the cross of Jesus is the source of forgiveness.
- If you are discouraged – the cross is a beacon of hope.
- If you feel like you’ve gone too far – the cross invites you to return.
The cross means – I no longer live for myself, but for Jesus.
7. Today’s decision – Will you bow before the cross?
You’ve heard, you’ve read, now it’s time to decide. Jesus loved you, died, and rose again. Now the question is:
“Do you accept His love? Do you turn from your sins and trust in Jesus?”
Today is Good Friday – make a good decision! Today could be a day of salvation for you.
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9
