My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Bill Crowder, AT THIS LINK … tells of Michelangelo sharing with a friend a 16th century chalk drawing <b>(see photo)</b> of what would become the famous sculpture of “The Pieta,” which depicted Jesus’ mother cradling her son - God’s Son - after His death and showing the price God’s Son paid for us to have eternal life.
It’s “GOOD Friday” today; … a day where we should be contemplating - with grateful hearts - the price our Lord paid when He said (as in the highlight passage), “It Is finished,” on the cross at the moment He died.
That phrase, “It is finished,” in the Greek (i.e., “tetelestai”) means “PAID IN FULL”, and it reflects the eternal price Jesus paid with His blood to bring us from eternal death for our sin debt to eternal life with our Lord. And so I pray we all are committed to live our lives to show our gratitude for the price Jesus paid so that we could live with Him forever as we give our all to walk with an to serve our Lord in this life.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, King Jesus, … for giving Your all so that we might give our all for You.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to express our gratitude, Lord, for what You did on the cross to pay our eternal debt. … Amen
