That's Why It's GOOD Friday

This is Good Friday and this week we’ve been looking at the seven last sayings of Jesus as He was on the cross that day.

Today we will look at the last three. In John 19:28 we read that Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” Jesus spoke these words in order to fulfill the prophecy of Psalm 69:21. Jesus knew that this was the only prophecy yet to be fulfilled before He died.

In John 19:30 Jesus says, “It is finished” and in Luke 23:46 it is recorded that He said, “Father, into Your hands, I commit My spirit.”

Christ finished the work of salvation on the cross and then voluntarily gave up His life. There isn’t anything that needs to be added to what Christ has done. His work on the cross accomplished a completed salvation for all who would ever place their faith in Him.

That’s why we call today Good Friday.

Join us this weekend and go to believers-fellowship.org.

Note: Many of you prayed last night as Roberta had an emergency appendectomy. The surgery went well and she is doing fine. We are thankful for your love and prayers. Because of what Christ accomplished on the cross, Roberta is smiling at the future despite any physical set backs.
