Good News
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: The headlines are grim:
Islamic State Trains 400 Fighters To Attack Europe In Wave Of Bloodshed
ISIS Goes Global: 75 Attacks In 20 Countries Have Killed 1,280
Islamic State Committed Genocide Against Christians
Fears Grow For Priest . . . Who May Be Crucified On Good Friday." At times it can all seem so overwhelming. But, my friends, there is Good News!
Today, on Good Friday, we think about the Cross and the sacrifice paid for our sins. Romans 5:8 tells us, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
While some worship a god who commands men to die for him, we worship a loving God who gave His son to die for us. Never forget that.
Thank God for the cross and the empty tomb!
Thank God for the Good News of Christ's resurrection!
In Christ, we have confidence. No matter what happens on this earth, no matter what tomorrow's headlines may bring, we have confidence in a caring Creator, rather than the chaos of the cosmos. We have confidence in a glorious future, rather than the finality of the grave.
It is this confidence that sustains us in times of trial and tribulation -- in times like these.
We have confidence because "It is finished." Christ's atoning work on the Cross is done, and we are saved.
On Easter morning, we do not gather to remember a martyr, a mere man who lived and died. We come together to worship the risen Son of God!
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
