Good Friday

10Apr
 
 
It is both a long-standing and good tradition to take some time on Good Friday and contemplate what Jesus did for all humanity on the cross!
 
Subjects to contemplate:
 
• Consider what it was like for Jesus to take on human form. Without diminishing any of his divinity, Jesus came to live in our sin tainted world. He, as true God, united with true humanity for the primary purpose of dying for the sins of the world.
 
• Consider the patience as he waited for 30 years before he began to execute his mission.
 
• Consider how he patiently bore with the weaknesses of humanity as he brought spiritual light into this dark world.
 
• Consider the pain of betrayal in his darkest hour.
 
• Consider the pain of death by crucifixion.
 
• Consider what weight crushed down on his soul that caused him to cry out, “My God, my God! Why have you forsaken me?”
 
Consider: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10 (NIV)

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was a teen. A friend had invited me to attend church to help out in a Sunday School attendance drive. At the end of the worship service I asked the Pastor how I could know for sure I would go to Heaven. He had someone show me from the Scriptures how to receive Christ and from that day to this, I have had an assurance of Christ as my Savior and Heaven as my eternal home.

Within a few weeks I sensed a building desire to enter into full time ministry. My church observed me and confirmed the call. Upon graduation from High School, I enrolled in Bible College and I have been in ministry ever since. I was ordained to the ministry by my home church in Texas in 1974. It has been my privilege to be Pastor of Preaching and Teaching at Family Bible since 2005.

Cheryl and I were married in 1973. God has blessed us with two children, Rachel and David, and four grandsons.

Favorite part of ministry? - Researching and discussing questions about the Bible.

Favorite verse? - "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm.  Let nothing move you.  Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58
