A Prayer For Good Friday! 🌿

Jesus,

I grieve that the torture and sorrow You endured on the cross were necessary to save humanity.

You didn’t want us enslaved to the lies of fear, anxiety, or sin—so You sacrificed Yourself so that Truth could win.

“It is finished” was a cry of victory, because You defeated everything that held us in captivity.

Because of Your sacrifice, I can experience new life. Thank You!

Show me how to stay rooted in Your Truth, and use me to reach the world You died to set free.

Amen! 🙏🏻

Why is love the supreme quality? 💜

1. Because God's essence is love.

The Bible says, "God is love" (1 John 4:8).

In other words, love is God's very nature and the essence that best reveals His being.

2. Faith and Hope Are Completed in Love

Faith truly exerts its power when it works through love (Galatians 5:6).

Hope, too, ultimately looks forward to the perfect eternal life realized in God's love.

3. Because Love Endures Eternally 🌈

Faith is no longer needed when we see God face to face, and hope ends when the promise is fulfilled.

However, love endures eternally, even in heaven.

This is because love is the eternal bond that binds us to God and to each other. 💕

👉 Faith is the power to hold on to God,

Hope is the power to wait for the kingdom of God,

and love is the essence of living a life that resembles God.

Of these, love is the greatest because it never fades and most perfectly reveals God Himself.
