This is the day of destiny. The day that Jesus was born for was the day He would die on a cross. It’s hard to see the sweet baby Jesus and realize that He was born to die. For believers, this is a sad day. As Christians we take this day to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary. It is Good Friday, but it is also destiny Friday. The reason we can have an intimate relationship with Jesus is because He was willing to take on the weight of the world, through the stripes across his back, and through His crucifixion, and then his resurrection. The proof of His love for us was the scars that he bore on his body. He bore the marks of death, but was dead no longer! On Sunday morning he arose. Maybe you can use today to think about the hurting people around you. They have scars and wounds. God put you in their world to be his mouthpiece. Tell them about his love, and his healing power. You can say yes to helping someone else on their path to healing. Usually the very thing you have overcome in your life can be an avenue of blessing in someone else’s. One of my favorite verses is in II Cor 1:3 where it says that the very areas you have received comfort from the Lord, He will use you to comfort someone else. You really do become a minister of reconciliation to your world. That’s the power of the cross. That’s the power of knowing the love of God. That’s the power of obedience! That’s the power of saying yes.
