Yet To Be # 66

Good Friday of the year is a remembrance of the sufferings of the death of Christ

Day 2 of April Good Friday

Good Friday of the year is a remembrance of the sufferings and the death of Christ.

Being named after Him, the one who came to die for the world makes us privilege.

We are Christians being called years ago in Antioch in the country of Turkey, as Christ- like.

Wise as serpents but harmless as doves.

We trace the path of the son of God from the humble manger to His steps in Israel straight to the cross.

The cross where He, as man born of a woman, the virgin Mary, took our sins;

The perfect sacrifice.

The true Passover Lamb.

It is on this day, Good Friday.

“And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” Acts 11 verse 26

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”  Matthews 10 verse 16

“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.” Matthew 20 verse 18

“Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.” Acts 17 verse 3

Crucifixion of Jesus occurred in 1st century Judea, in either AD 30 or AD 33 – Wikipedia 2021

Christ is our true hope.

Hope rocks some serious acquaintance.

What if it doesn’t happen?

What if time passes where days turn into weeks, week into months and months into years, and still there is nothing.

What then?

Does hope die?

Does faith fade?

Has it all been for nought? In vain, as we look up and see nothing?

Hope has no limits. 

There is no ending to hoping, only a beginning and a forever. 

Christ is our true hope.

He is the alpha and the omega; the first and the last. 

In him we have redemption, salvation and life.

He came to give life and to give it abundantly.

There are no limits.  

“O fear the Lord, you saints; for there is no want to them that fear Him.”  Psalm 34 verse 9

#5 of 14 The Love Song

Troubadour’ Entry – Jakob Emanuel Gaisser

Love songs express the emotions felt by the writer or singer to the one they love.  One such song can be found in Song of Solomon ( 22nd book of the Bible)

Also called Canticle of canticles.  It is a song or a chant known to be written by King Solomon approximately 930 BC of the old testament Bible.  The song tells of simple love between a husband and his wife, emotionally, spiritually and physically.  Metaphorically speaking it is also a relationship between Christ and his bride, the Church. 

“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” Song of Solomon 6 verse 3
