Therefore remember and ponder on JESUS Passion and His Crucifixion on the Cross not only on Good Friday but everyday. Thank God for His sacrifice of His Son our Saviour JESUS CHRIST, we are saved from our sins. Jesus knew of His death and resurrection but it is quite another to go to the Cross willingly. We can only embrace Resurrection only after heeding JESUS calling us to the Cross.
Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." ~ Luke 9:23-24
"...unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." ~ John 12:24
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16
