We all like the
easy way to do something. Why have it hard if you don't need it to be
hard? This lets us ask the question on this Good Friday; Could Jesus
have chosen a different path, an easier road and avoided the hardship of
the cross? Could a different journey have taken Him to the same
destination? Could He have lived a long good life, taken an early
retirement, traveled the world, and then sat down on His throne on high?
Sometimes it's the hard way that's the only way to obtain what you
need to gain. Without the shedding of blood there was no salvation.
Jesus never planned an easier road but asked for strength to travel the
road assigned to Him by His Father. We call today Good Friday because
Jesus stayed on the hard road to accomplish our full salvation. If you
are on a hard road today do not lose hope but hold on, press in, keep
the faith, and be a good soldier. God will come to you and great will
be your reward.
Today we celebrate Good Friday with our 10:30 service with Bethel Family Church in Glace Bay. Tomorrow morning we have a Men's Breakfast 8:30 Salvation Army Community Church in Sydney.
Sunday morning is Easter Sunday with special music and anointed word.
Continue to pray for all those in need, looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice
