Have you ever wondered why today is called ‘Good Friday’? What’s good about someone dying a gruesome death? What’s good about being betrayed ….. beaten ….. humiliated ….. mocked ….. and finally nailed to a cross and left to die? The ‘good’ part is that a perfectly ‘good’ man paid the price for my sin. What is sin? It is anything that falls short of God’s standard. God’s standard is 100%. It doesn’t matter whether you get 99% or 5% ….. you have missed the mark! There are no big sins and small sins! That’s why we are all sinners ….. and we all needed a Saviour. That’s what Easter is all about! On the Cross ….. a wonderful exchange took place. Jesus took all my wrongness and exchanged it for His rightness. He took my shame and gave me His approval. He took my fear and gave me his boldness. He took my sickness and gave me His wellness. He took my death and gave me His life ….. and exchanged all my ‘badness’ for all His ‘goodness’!Now that’s really good news! Will you accept that exchange? Today would be a great day for a new beginning!
