每年, Good Friday is remembered by Christians. But what is the meaning of Good Friday? What happened on Good Friday? What does the Bible say about Good Friday? Why is Good Friday such an important day to Christians and humanity?
What happened on Good Friday?
On Good Friday, we remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We remember on Good Friday, that Jesus died for humanity and took all the sins, iniquities, 疾病, and diseases upon Him. Jesus carried all sins and iniquities and took the penalty for sin, 这就是死亡, 在他自己身上.
Jesus took all the sins of the world upon Himself, 这样每个人都, 谁会相信他, 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.
当你相信耶稣基督时, 你是 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 不再是罪人, but you have become a saint.
When you become a saint, it means, that you should also walk like a saint and walk in holiness and righteousness. Just like Jesus walked in holiness and righteousness, 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).
But now, 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, 并表示感谢, 并制动它, and gave unto them, 说, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, 说, This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you (卢克 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. 是的, all sickness and disease He took upon Him on the whipping post.
但他因我们的过犯而受伤, 他因我们的罪孽被压伤: 我们的平安的惩罚落在他身上; 因他受的鞭伤，我们得医治 (以赛亚 53:5)
By whose stripes you were healed (1 彼得 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. 是的, 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, iniquities, and eventually death upon Himself. So that everyone, who believes in Him would receive redemption, 永生, a life reunited with the Father. 每个人, who is redeemed by the blood of Jesus, will not face death.
他的血 (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 他父亲的旨意. 他知道, how much God loves people.
是的, Jesus knew how much God loves 你, 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, 他为你做了什么以及他给了你什么.
每天, 你应该背起你的十字架来跟随耶稣, 这意味着你按照他的意愿行事和生活, 不再是你自己的意愿. 如果你行在他的旨意中, 你会取悦他, 并在你所做的一切事上尊崇他.
