They crucified Jesus

Who was Jesus? He is the one and only Son of God. What is being crucified? Crucifixion was an extremely painful death that was used in the ancient Roman world for criminals; someone was nailed to a large cross of wood and left there to die.

Why was Jesus crucified? There are two reasons. The Romans and leaders of His day crucified Him because He said He was the Son of God. The real reason is Jesus willingly gave Himself to be killed for all of us — to pay for the sins of the world. How great is God’s love for us!

On the day we call Good Friday, Jesus willingly went to the cross for us. He had the power to call on God His Father to send thousands of angels, and He would have escaped the cross; but He chose to go through it all for us so that we could be forgiven of all our sins.

So this week, let us pray and

• Thank God for sending His Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins
• Tell Jesus how much we love Him
• Pray for God’s protection and blessing over our staff here at Global Media Outreach
  The great news is that, after He died on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead! He is the conqueror over sin and death and hell; no power on earth can withstand His great love.

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God answers prayer and fills us with His Holy Spirit! You are partners with us in reaching the world with the message of Jesus Christ and His love.

May God bless you,
