We Contemplate Thee: Remembrance of Jesus

Yet To Be 253

We think of Him, who in willing obedience to the Father came to earth to die.

The Son of God who was there in eternity past left it all for us that we might be enriched.

Made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, ( he emptied himself), and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, ( his own creation), he humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

It does not end here…

But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

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.
