TGIF
TGIF Thank God Its Friday. Funny how the world uses this phrase. Today is Good Friday, and thank the Lord Jesus it was "the Friday," of all Fridays. Most feel thankful for Fridays because their work or school week is over and they have the weekend free. But what a weekend in Jerusalem that Friday started. Parties in the portico's of hell began on that Friday. The self-proclaimed Jewish King was dead! Nails in his feet and hands, a spear in his side, he was dead. Jesus had talked about his death as just being a weekend thing. The demons had heard him say, "Just three days and I'll be back," but that sort of thing just did not, does not happen.... Right? The old black preacher said, "It was Friday, but Sunday is Comin'! According to singer/composer, Carmen, the demons said, "Its Friday, the Jew is dead as nails." Singer/composer Dallas Holm wrote that Jesus said, "But I'll rise again, ain't no power on earth can keep me back." Jesus said, "My words will never pass away."
(It's Easter, go easy on grandpa even if he has no reason other than having a cute grandson to intoduce you to Andew Gary Young on Andy's second Good Friday. "We are praying for you Andy!" Andy has RSV for the third time in his short life.)
Well , it is Friday 2007 and Sunday 2007 is coming. No one can stop it but Him. What we believe or do not believe will not affect the fact that Sunday is coming. We could pass laws changing calendars but Sunday will still come after Friday. Jesus said, "It is Finished." It is done. The work of that Friday guaranteed the victory of that Sunday. It set victory in motion and nothing could stop it.
So what does that have to do with you and me? Paul wrote, "Being confident of this, that he who began a new work in you will carry it out on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6 What he did on that Friday started "a new work in you" so when you set in church this Sunday remember it will be completed just as it was on that Sunday. TGIF but TG Sunday is coming!
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Resurrection Sunday, completion is on its way!
