“Through the cross we are a rescued people. And a freed people are a singing people. If you think of nations and people groups that have been released from captivity, the joy and the exuberance of freedom from bondage. Today, Good Friday, tells the story of a rejoicing people…”
Good Friday (2 Corinthians 5:17-21)
“2 Corinthians 5:14-15 reads:
For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
So the pertinent question, this morning, is not whether Christ was crucified, but whether I am crucified with Christ.”
