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

February 14th was first a pagan feast day which was later changed by Pope Gelasius 1 in AD 496 to a Christian feast day to honour Valentine. There are many legends surrounding this day claiming Saint Valentine as a priest who was martyred in AD 269 for his kindness and love to the persecuted Christians in Rome. Then later in the 14th and 15th centuries, Valentine’s Day became associated with romantic love.

“Because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.”  Ecclesiastes 8 verse 15
