Good.
What does that word mean?
Simple, Biblically speaking “good” is perfectly in line with the will of God.
Today we remember the day that Christ was crucified. And we call it “Good.”
And the term has rarely ever been used so correctly.
It was perfectly in
line with the will of God that Christ should suffer and die for us.
The Cross signifies the most loving act ever, the most
amazing demonstration of grace.
While the empty grave on Sunday demonstrates His Power…
The Cross today, just as it did 2,000 years ago,
demonstrates His Purpose.
Jesus came to save sinners.
He came to redeem us… to pay the price.
It was ALWAYS the Father’s will – His desire – that the relationship that was broken in the garden be
restored.
It was ALWAYS His desire that we walk with Him, unashamed,
completely whole, and completely free, with unbroken, unhindered fellowship.
It was His will that Christ would bear our transgression; that
He would die in our place; that all of our debt be erased through His
obedience.
It IS His desire
that we come to know His Son – to be redeemed.
What the law required… Jesus paid on the Cross.
And He paid it willingly.
No one took His life… He gave it.
As a man, He laid it down.
As our High Priest, He offered it up.
As the Lamb of God, He was the Perfect Sacrifice.
Today, what we remember… is good.
It is the Good in
the good news that is the gospel.
Today we remember His death… but at the same time… our
eternal life.
What a GOOD Day it
is indeed.
