Chaque année, Good Friday is remembered by Christians. But what is the meaning of Good Friday? Ce qui s’est passé le Vendredi saint? What does the Bible say about Good Friday? Why is Good Friday such an important day to Christians and humanity?
Ce qui s’est passé le Vendredi saint?
On Good Friday, we remember the Crucifixion de Jésus-Christ. We remember on Good Friday, that Jesus died for humanity and took all the sins, iniquités, maladie, and diseases upon Him. Jesus carried all sins and iniquities and took the penalty for sin, ce qui est la mort, sur lui-même.
Jesus took all the sins of the world upon Himself, afin que tout le monde, qui croirait en Lui, would be redeemed by His blood, from sin and death, and be reunited with the Father.
All the redeemed of the Lord are saved and will receive eternal life.
Quand tu crois en Jésus-Christ, tu es redeemed from your sinful state and sinful nature.
His blood redeemed you from the authority of the devil and brought you into the Kingdom of God. You are no longer a sinner, but you have become a saint.
When you become a saint, c’est-à-dire, that you should also walk like a saint and walk in holiness and righteousness. Tout comme Jésus a marché dans la sainteté et la justice, because He has become your new Owner.
Before you accepted Jesus Christ, as your Saviour and Lord, you walked according to the will of the devil (your previous owner).
Mais maintenant, you ought to walk according to the will of Jesus (your new Owner). You can find His will in His Word. The Word is Jesus, and through His Word, He will reveal and share His will with you.
The whipping post
And He took bread, et a remercié, et freine-le, and gave unto them, en disant, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, en disant, Cette coupe est le nouveau testament dans mon sang, which is shed for you (Luc 22:19-20)
Jesus took the bread, which symbolizes His body in the visible world. Every time you take the bread and eat the bread, you remember His body, which was given for you. You remember the stripes, He took upon Himself, on the whipping post, on Good Friday. You remember that by His stripes you were healed. Oui, all sickness and disease He took upon Him on the whipping post.
Mais il a été blessé pour nos transgressions, Il a été meurtri pour nos iniquités: le châtiment de notre paix était sur lui; et c’est par ses meurtrissures que nous sommes guéris (Isaïe 53:5)
By whose stripes you were healed (1 Pierre 2:24)
The finished work at Calvary
After the whipping post, Jesus continued His way to Calvary; the place, where He would die, for all humanity. Oui, He would be sacrificed for all humanity.
On Good Friday, Jesus was pierced at the cross and carried all the iniquities and sins of mankind. Jesus took all the sins, iniquités, and eventually death upon Himself. So that everyone, who believes in Him would receive redemption, vie éternelle, a life reunited with the Father. Tout le monde, who is redeemed by the blood of Jesus, will not face death.
Son sang (His life) was shed at the cross. The wine you take symbolizes His blood (His life) that washed away all your sins and iniquities and redeemed you from sin nature.
Jesus had one purpose, and that was to do the volonté de son Père. Il savait, how much God loves people.
Oui, Jesus knew how much God loves toi, and because He saw that great love of His Father for you, He gave His life for you. So that you will be reunited with your Creator, your Father in Heaven.
Don’t ever forget His great sacrifice. Never forget the cross and the blood of Jesus Christ. But remember daily, what He has done for you and what He has given you.
Tous les jours, you should take up your cross and follow Jesus, which means that you act and live according to His will, and not your own will anymore. If you walk in His will, you will please Him, and exalt Him in everything you do.
