Thoughts for Today, on Good Friday : A Life that’s Worth a Living
All around the world, many are enjoying a good long weekend because of Good Friday.
‘Good Friday’ to me personally has a deeper meaning than just a public holiday though.
It’s a day where I get to remember how Jesus Christ had purposely come to earth to die, and it’s because of HIS love for us sinners that HE replaced us and received the punishments of sin that we deserve.
…
We all went to our church’s Good Friday service and I’d like to share some thoughts with you, thoughts which were inspired by the sermon I heard earlier today.
Here they are.
> Many of us become parents but we may lack the joy of parenting our children. Many are involved in the ministry, but they may serve God and others heavy-heartedly. Many may have jobs today, but they may complain about the work they do everyday.
Jesus Christ on the other hand, came to earth WILLINGLY, and HE joyfully served others. HE fulfilled God’s eternal plan. He loved us although we’re still sinners!
…
> Some people choose to complain a lot, and they (knowingly and unknowingly) become a burden towards others.
Some others, however, may face life’s challenges, BUT despite their personal difficulties, they still become blessings to others.
The question is: How have we lived our lives all this while?
…
> We will one day stand in front of our Creator and give our accountability. We have been given talents, opportunities and time, but how have we used all this? What have we done in our life?
We may have a lot of money and wealth, but we could bring NONE of that with us when we die.
We have time and health today, but how have we used what we have?
What is it that we hold very dearly in our life?
What is it that’s most important in our life?
May our hearts and lives be submitted under God’s will, and may God give us the wisdom to see life in a more meaningful perspective, so we in turn can live a life that’s worth a living.
Have a blessed Good Friday, everyone!
