For this Good Friday, join us in some food for thought for today's recipe.
Food for thought from Sarah:
Today is the day we reflect on Jesus' debts He paid for us. Currently my husband and I are working on paying down our debts so we can afford the house we want for our growing family. Today I am reminded about the debt Jesus paid for our souls. He gave His life for us. God gave His only Son to us for our sins.
So while I'm overwhelmed in mortgage applications, closing costs and calculations, I'm thinking about Jesus and what He paid for me, my husband, and my boys. A debt that I cannot calculate with interest rates or FICO scores.
This debt is paid in full and wiped away with a clean bill. This to-good-to imagine offer really exists, so take Him up on it today.
Food for thought from Emma:
Today is the day we reflect on Jesus trials. Our lives always contain trials, but these struggles seem so trivial to those Jesus faced for us. We all carry our burdens full of emotional pangs, relational strains, and physical hurts. I am not exempt and neither are you.
On this day we relive the path of Jesus through his own struggles and trials. He faced betrayal, denial, scorn, anxiety, bodily torture, and death. He did this willingly without so much as a cry. All this He did so that He might carry our burdens for us.
We need not struggle alone. Christ who bore the pangs of this human life is there to see you through. He understands and feels every emotion, thought, sorrow, and pain right along with you. Celebrate a Savior this day who relates to your situation, your frustration, and indisposition. Surrender at the cross.
