It was my sin that put him there

Tonight is Passover, the day that Christians recognize as Maundy Thursday, the day that, almost 2000 years ago, Jesus shared his last meal with his disciples. Every year before that ominous one, families would sacrifice a lamb to remember that God had brought them out of Egypt. The next day changed the rest of history.

Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day Jesus was sacrificed as our Passover Lamb. He is blameless, sinless, and the embodiment of love. His blood has washed away my sin if I believe in him and ask him for forgiveness. I am not worthy of his love, yet he freely gives it to me, a sinner. Never forget the time between Palm Sunday and Easter! Never forget that Jesus took up my cross and your cross, carried them on his shoulder up Calvary, and was crucified so that I might have everlasting life! Easter would not have value without Good Friday, so I urge you to remember the sacrifice of our Lord of love today, tomorrow, and always. He has ransomed our hearts so that we might join him and praise him for all of our days. So fall down at his thrown and worship the great God of forgiveness and love.
