is it really good?

“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”

- Luke 9:22 (NKJV)

 

Good Friday.
What is so “good” about it? 
This is the day that God’s perfect Son was executed quite horrifically on the cross, and for what? 
For sins that He did not commit. 

So that we could have an everlasting life with the Father.
The days when Jesus walked on the earth were filled with evil, and yet God loved His creation enough that He sent His Son to give us a path away from evil.
Jesus knew exactly what was going to happen. 
He knew that it was necessary. 
Good Friday indeed. 
Christ was sacrificed on the cross for us, Good Friday should be a day of sorrow, recognizing that Jesus is our atonement for sin.
The suffering that Jesus endured for us is unimaginable. 
On this day darkness covered the land when the Lamb of God agonized on that “old rugged cross”.
When Jesus gave up His spirit, there was an earthquake and the veil was torn (the veil, being the curtain that separated the most Holy chamber from the rest of the temple, some say it is the doorway between Heaven and earth).
Jesus could not have been resurrected if He didn’t die, so that is what made this Friday so long ago “good”.
It wasn’t “goodbye” because Jesus didn’t abandon us. 
On Sunday we will celebrate the risen King. 

Friday may not have been “good” in the sense that we think of good things today, but when we focus on why it all happened, we realize that God did an amazing thing. 
For us. 
That is love, my friends.

don’t listen

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

- Revelation 12:11 (NKJV) 

 

I believe that we have all been through some crazy things in our lives.

I think about my story, some of the things that I experienced, the damage that was done to me physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and I am happy to say that I made it through because I was strong. 

Then I hear someone else’s story - everyone has a story - and I think “wow, that would have broken me, and look at this person, still standing strong”.

We compare stories with our friends and sometimes even strangers, we do it so that people know where we are coming from and how we can relate to one another, and we all feel that we have come through the fires because we are strong. 

We have come through the fires because of God’s grace.

He is the one that holds us, uplifts us, carries us.
I have a friend (Leon) who wrote this to me a few years ago. 
I had his permission to share then, so I am sure he is good with me sharing his words again:
Sharing your testimony with others is a must for all Christians.

When giving your testimony, you tell how you came to trust in Christ alone as your Lord and Savior.

You tell how God opened your eyes on how you were in need of a Savior.

Testimony is a form of praise and honor to Christ.

It is sharing with others the events that led up to our salvation and how God has worked in our lives to bring us to our faith.

We also use it as a way to encourage others.

Know that every time when you’re going through trials and sufferings in life, that’s an opportunity to share a testimony of how God worked in your life and made you stronger.

Remember, testimony is not only the things that we say.

The way we live our life is a testimony to unbelievers as well.

Your story is the key that can unlock someone else’s prison.

Jeremy Camp released the song Overcome in 2010, here are the lyrics:

Seated above, enthroned in the Father's love
Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
God's only Son, perfect and spotless one
He never sinned but suffered as if He did

All authority
Every victory is Yours
All authority
Every victory is Yours

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame

Power in hand speaking the Father's plan
You're sending us out, light in this broken land

All authority
Every victory is Yours

Savior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcame, yeah

We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony, everyone overcome

Never allow the enemy to tell you that you are a failure, when he reminds you of your past, remember God’s faithfulness in you.

Being a Christ follower is not about comfort, though it can be comforting.

Being a Christ follower is not easy, though it lightens our burdens.

However, being a Christ follower IS about testifying to what we have seen and heard, what has touched our lives and how we can touch others.

We don’t overcome by shrinking back from our faith; we are called to go forward, even when the road is hard and we may feel all alone.

Over the years I have found myself becoming more vocal about my faith. 

I would hope, that hearing my testimony will lead someone, just give a little nudge, toward a path with my Father.

It is up to us.

anchors

 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.

- Hebrews 6:19 (NLT)

 

Anchors come in all shapes, sizes, and purposes.
Probably the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about an anchor is something nautical, a device made of metal tossed overboard a boat or ship to hold it in place.
There is also the kind of anchor used to support structures, as in construction. 
And climbers use anchors for fall protection and restraint. 
A spiritual anchor is something that helps keep us grounded, connected to what matters most, giving us the ability to cope with the challenges that life brings (thank you, dictionary.com).
The anchor we find in scripture can represent hope, salvation, stability, or security when our soul is firm in the Lord.

It is well with my soul indeed, because my anchor is in Jesus.

a message

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

- Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

 

Have you ever heard of an earworm?
It is a phrase from over a hundred years ago to describe the experience of a song stuck in the brain, you all have had it at some point.
It could be a commercial or a song from your youth, but once you hear it, you are stuck with it for hours, sometimes days!
Sometimes they are annoying, but honestly, that is what the marketing people want.
They work tirelessly to create a conglomerate of words or phrases that will stick in your mind and subliminally encourage you to do something.
When you hear “Gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece of that KitKat bar”, the Hershey Company wants you to go buy this product to ease your hunger.
Or “the best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup”, the J.M. Smucker Company would like you to be thirsty (or sleepy) and have a desire for coffee.
Now that we are all hungry and thirsty, let’s look at the Bible verse. 
If you are human (and I am assuming that you are), you need to hear things seven times to take action – it’s an old marketing saying, that if you want people to buy something, they have to hear about it seven times. 
How often have I said that if something is repeated in the Bible, it must be something that God wants us to hear?

Look at the Message translation of this verse:

But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims, A sight to take your breath away! Grand processions of people telling all the good things of God! But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: “Does anyone care, God? Is anyone listening and believing a word of it?” The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to. (MSG)

As your faith grows, you must nurture it, hear it, read it, share it, live it, and experience it.

If we don’t know who to trust and we never hear about God, we will never learn.

This is why it is important to study God’s word over and over, to go to church, to Bible study, to be with like-minded people, followers of Christ.

Hearing the word of God is nothing new, but you might learn something new if you listen.

passport

Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

- Hebrews 10:22 (NLT)

 

Right into the presence of God.
Back in the days after Moses led the people out of Egypt, only certain people were allowed to go right into the presence of God.
The Old Testament has very specific instructions that only the high priest was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies, the Inner Sanctuary, where God was said to reside on earth, and only on specific days after specific rituals.
When Jesus died on the cross for us, He gave us a “passport”, He gave us a clear path to go to the presence of God.
We don’t need to perform specific rituals or wear special clothing, nor do we have to wait until a certain day to seek God.
We can come just as we are, the broken, the wounded, the very worst of us are allowed in the presence of the Lord, because of the passport that Jesus gave us.
Don’t wait. 
Clear your conscience, confess your sin, repent, and go. 
After you go, tell everyone of the glory of God so they can get their passport too.

everlasting

Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to Myself.

- Jeremiah 31:3 (NLT)

 

I follow a page on social media called “Christ Followers”, one of the admins is gracious enough to allow me to share my “daily bread” posts.
This admin shares daily devotions called “Closer to Him…with Pastor Tim”, I really like the things Pastor Tim has to say.
Last week he used this verse to talk about the love of the Father, and how the very character of God is to make His love real to us, how we are so loved by God and He just wants us to be closer to Him.
Everlasting love, what an incredible concept.
In 2007, Hillsong United released “From the Inside Out”, look at some of the lyrics:
A thousand times I've failed

Still Your mercy remains

And should I stumble again

I'm caught in Your grace

Everlasting

Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending

Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else

My purpose remains

The art of losing myself

In bringing You praise

Everlasting

Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending

Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart and my soul

Lord I give You control

Consume me from the inside out

Lord, let justice and praise

Become my embrace

To love you from the inside out

Your will above all else

. . .

Everlasting

Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending

Your glory goes beyond all fame

And the cry of my heart

Is to bring You praise

From the inside out

Lord my soul cries out

I want that everlasting unfailing love and kindness.

And I can only find it in the Father.

Let me show you the way to Him.

no more

He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.

- Isaiah 25:8 (NKJV)

 

We are taught that some day death will not look the same and there will come a day that we won’t be sad anymore.

We learned that our sin and shame will be wiped away and we will be with the Father in Heaven.
There is a secular song from 1982 called Mad World by the band Tears For Fears, it’s been covered by a few bands since then, here are some of the lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces

Worn-out places, worn-out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

And their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you, 'cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad world

There is more, but for today I just want to look at this part.  

The author was recalling a very unhappy childhood, but the line “the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had” is not a suicide note.
Instead, the writer wanted to explain how morbid dreams can release tension; the dreamer wakes up feeling better.
I’m not sure that I’ve woken up feeling “better” when I’ve dreamt of death. 
I do feel better knowing that I won’t be here forever, that there is a reward in Heaven.
God promised that we will have a day where He takes our sadness and fears. 
Live each day to the fullest, loving life and being a light for the mad world around us.

still resting

For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world.

- Hebrews 4:10 (NLT)

 

Last week was awful.

Good friends have suffered great loss, others experienced an anniversary of a traumatic event.
Even I struggled with being overwhelmed by things that needed to be done. 

Thank God for the weekend.
We were not made to run 24/7 without breaks.

Even God rested - not because He needed to rest, but to set an example.
Take a moment to breathe, to re-evaluate what is important. 
Prioritize the “right now” and let the rest happen when it can. 
I saw a meme that said something about if you die, your boss will put out a job posting in 48 hours to find your replacement.
But your family can’t replace you. 
Slow down, make necessary changes and rest.

it’s new

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

- Lamentations 3:23 (NKJV)

 

Mornings are a bit of a challenge for some folks.
Dragging out of bed before dawn is almost impossible. 
Coffee helps, but still, it is morning. 

You know what I look forward to when I wake up every morning?
Well, waking up, I mean, that is a real high point, right? 
But seriously, every morning we are given a renewed spirit, a fresh day to accomplish good things.
I like the NIRV translation: 
His great love is new every morning. Lord, how faithful you are!

How great!
Every single day, we are refreshed with His compassion, His love, His mercy – all we need to do is ask!!

How can that not bring a tear to your eye?

How can you not feel this deep in your soul?

Sometimes, when things are looking down, we just need to remember that Our God is faithful, and He loves us.

He will guide us through what ever obstacle is in our way.

His love is everlasting.

but the cross

I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, And like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”

- Isaiah 44:22 (NKJV)

 

Have you ever heard a song that made you absolutely stop in your tracks and listen?
In 2022 Ben Fuller released But The Cross, here are the lyrics: 

I heard shame told you a story that you can't escape your past

That the innocence you lost, there's no way to get it back

I heard fear sold you some fiction, you bought everything he had

Made you too afraid to live, and kept your heart under attack

They say you're too guilty for His grace

You're too far gone and now you're too late

But the Cross (but the Cross) says they're wrong (says they're wrong)

Don't believe the words they say, let the truth wash them away

'Cause His blood ('cause His blood) says you're loved (says you're loved)

Every lie is bound to leaven when there's nothing you believe but the Cross

I've been right there where you're standing

All those things, they told me too

That I was out of second chances, and I was only born to lose

They said I was born to lose

But the Cross (but the Cross) says they're wrong (says they're wrong)

Don't believe the words they say, let the truth wash them away

'Cause His blood ('cause His blood) says you're loved (says you're loved)

Every lie is bound to leave when there's nothing you believe but the Cross

Shame tells me I'm broken (I've been broken)

But I know I'm forgiven (I'm forgiven)

Fear tells me it's over (it's not over)

But this is the beginning (it's the beginning)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) they can say whatever they want

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) they can say whatever they want

But the Cross says they're wrong

I don't believe the words they say 'cause the truth washed them away

Oh, His blood (His blood) says I'm loved (I'm loved)

Every lie is bound to leave when there's nothing we believe but the Cross (the Cross)

of the Cross, the Cross

(This is the beginning) of the Cross
But the cross.  

Simple words that say so much.
I read that Ben Fuller struggled with drug and alcohol addiction very early in life.

He lost his best friend to a heroin overdose, and he was motivated by that event to change his life.
Now Ben is completely sober, and he focuses on helping people who struggle with addiction through his music.
We have freedom from sin because of the cross. 
We have a way to Heaven because of the cross. 
We are redeemed because of the cross. 

We are so loved that the Savior died for us on that cross.

sharing the hurt

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

- (2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT)

 

I am told that I am an empath, a person that is highly attuned to the feelings and emotions of those around me.

I feel what others are projecting very deeply.

There are some situations where the emotion in a room is so “loud” that it overwhelms me.
More often though, it is in a one-on-one situation where someone is troubled that I can comfort them.
I think that God has blessed me with this gift and that I can offer love and comfort to others because He has loved and comforted me.
I know that God doesn't bless us with His presence and the comfort of His Spirit because we are somehow better than everyone else.
He comforts us to equip, empower, and encourage us to do the same for others.

Our troubles and experiences give us a vocabulary to help others who are going through similar situations.

We may think that our circumstances make us unable to minister, but the Scripture tells us that the very weight around our neck can become a tool for ministry to others.

There is something about comfort that cannot be fully realized until it is shared with someone else.

Comforting someone else could be that final step in the healing process of our own grief, disappointment, hurt, or loss.

Until we share the comfort we have received, until we pass it on to another, our comfort is weak, shallow, and limited.

We see our failures and struggles, but God sees them as qualifications to be used mightily.

hard hearts

Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.

- Hebrews 3:8a (NKJV)

 

Way back in the 1900’s, ok, it wasn’t really that long ago, more like 1981 there was a soft rock band called Quarterflash.
Now, back in the 80’s music was a bit repetitive, the song Harden My Heart had about 10 original lines and three lines of chorus that was repeated about 10 times.
The chorus was 
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

Obviously this 1981 hit is not a Christian song, nor does it say anything about God or Jesus, but this line:
You gave me your word but words for you are lies

How often do we struggle to discern God’s voice from that of the father of lies?
The evil one will lie to our faces, and that is when we have to harden our hearts.
Israel wandered the desert for 40 years because they hardened their hearts at the wrong voice.
They rebelled because they did not understand what God had done for them and what little He asked for in return.

Listen. Today, if you hear His voice, don’t harden your heart.

only human

So he had to be made like people, fully human in every way. Then he could serve God as a kind and faithful high priest. And then he could pay for the sins of the people by dying for them.

- Hebrews 2:17 (NIRV)

 

There is a lot of controversy in the Bible regarding the humanity of Jesus.
That controversy, those conversations continue even today. 
People don’t understand who Jesus is, how He is divine, yet He was human. 
Jesus shared our humanity for the sole purpose of dying for us. 
He was made so that He could live like us, with us and for us. 
Humanity was essential to His role here on earth. 
If He had not been human, He would not have been able to die on our behalf. 
He would not have been able to suffer, to be tempted, to show us the way to freedom.
True freedom! 
Jesus being human was not just to get our attention, it was a necessity. 
Jesus had to be like us so He could be our sacrifice. 
Because He was human, He freed us from the fear of death. 
He was human because we needed Him to be.

judgey

For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.

- 2 Corinthians 5:10 (NLT)

 

OH this is a touchy subject.

It seems that society can get pretty butt-hurt when they are judged, but that doesn’t stop them from judging others.

And when you talk about people getting what they deserve, are you talking about your opinion of what the deserve, or are you taking the judgement reserved for Christ into your own hands? 

What is that old saying, a tit for a tat?
In case you have not heard that saying, “tit for tat is giving back as much as you got, especially in retaliation for something harmful. If you conk your sister in the head and she conks you right back, that's tit for tat. And stop it.
Well, firstly, the Bible teaches us that WE don’t get to be the judges. 
The things that we think are good and deserve rich rewards are not necessarily good.
And the same for bad things, what we perceive as bad, isn’t always bad in the eyes of God.
Stop judging people for their outward appearance. 

Stop thinking that we have the right to decide if someone else should receive a reward or a punishment.
Only God has that right.

light up the sky

It was God Who said, “The light will shine in darkness.” He is the One Who made His light shine in our hearts. This brings us the light of knowing God’s shining-greatness which is seen in Christ’s face.

- 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NLV)

 

I have referenced this verse a few times in my writing, but it is usually around Christmas time, because of the whole “light of the world” vibe I get from it.
There are a lot of times that we need light, not just at Christmas. 
We need light in our lives when we are at the end of our rope. 
We need light when our world is blanketed in darkness. 
Light gives us hope, guides us home. 
The Afters released a song Light Up the Sky in 2010, check out the lyrics: 
When I'm feeling all alone

With so far to go

The signs are nowhere on this road

Guiding me home

When the night is closing in

Is falling on my skin

Oh God, will you come close

You light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

And I, I, I can't deny

No I can't deny that you are right here with me

You've opened my eyes

So I can see you all around me

You light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds

I don't feel them shining

When I can't see beyond my doubt

The silver lining

When I've almost reached the end

Like a flood you're rushing in

Your love is rushing in (your love is rushing in)

You light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

And I, I, I can't deny

No I can't deny that you are right here with me

You've opened my eyes

So I can see you all around me

You light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

So I'll run straight into your arms

You're the bright and morning sun

To show your love there's nothin' you won't do (nothin' you won't do)

You light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

And I, I, I can't deny

No I can't deny that you are right here with me

You've opened my eyes

So I can see you all around me

You light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

That you are with me

Even in our darkest hour, we are not alone.

God’s light shines on us, in us and through us, even when we can’t see it, that light is still there.

Jesus isn’t just the Light of the Christmas season, He is the light of ALL seasons, and we need to continue to let Him shine in our lives so others may see Him.

hugs

For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

- 2 Corinthians 1:5 (NIVUK)

 

Hugs are a lot of things.
According to the internet, hugs are healing, therapeutic, comforting, hugs build trust, hugs give us a sense of safety, hugs are good for you.
When I am struggling with life, being hugged by my husband seems to make me feel better, loved, and safe.

Some – not all - humans thrive on and crave touch.
We need comfort too, comfort from the craziness that we go through every day. 
The God of the Bible is one of compassion, He comforts us when we go through trials.

But it doesn’t stop there.

God comforts us to equip, empower, and encourage others.

Our troubles give us a vocabulary to help others who are going through the same thing.

We may think that our circumstances make us unable to minister, but the Scripture tells us that the very weight around our neck can become the launching pad for ministry to others.

There is something about comfort that cannot be fully realized until it is shared with someone else.

It is a step in the healing process of grief, disappointment, hurt, and loss.

Until we share the comfort we have received, until we pass it on to another, our comfort is weak, shallow, and limited.

Where others see failure and struggle, God sees the qualifications to be used mightily.

Go ahead and get that hug, you’ll feel a little better about things.

a friend in the madness

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

- John 15:14-15 (NKJV)

 

We live in a crazy world right now, sometimes it feels like it is not even safe to go outside.
We need a friend in this madness. 
I heard a new song last week, that punched me right in the feels. 
The artist is Terrian, the song released just this year called Honestly, We Just Need Jesus, here are the lyrics:
I got a front row seat to the madness

I pick up my phone every mornin' out of habit

I've been fiendin' for the drama, yeah, I said it

I'm addicted to the rush, need a medic

When I take a step back, I can see it

All the pain, all the fear we've been feelin'

Losin' sight of the thing that we're needin'

That we're needin'

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?

What used to be wrong, we say that it's right

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

Take a good long look in the mirror

Search my heart and soul, make it clearer

Help me take your love, trade the bitter

Leave it in the dust, help me leave it in the dust, Lord

We've been preachin', we've been drinkin' in the vanity (in the vanity)

Now it's got us questionin' our sanity (sanity)

And we wonder how we get all this anxiety

It's clear to me

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus (Jesus)

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus (Jesus)

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?

What used to be wrong, we say that it's right

Honestly, I think we just need Jesus

We turn away (we turn away)

We're running back to you (oh-oh)

Covered in grace (covered in grace)

God, You can make us new (make us new)

We turn away (we turn away)

We're running back to you (oh-oh)

Covered in grace (covered in grace)

God, You can make us new, oh

Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus (we need You, oh)

Have we all gone mad? Have we lost our minds?

What used to be wrong, we say that it's right

Honestly, we need, we need You, Jesus

Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

We need You, Jesus, Jesus

Oh, Jesus
