And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.
Mark 15:37
Good Friday is a day of reflection and deep reverence for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Mark 15:37 captures the profound moment when Jesus, after enduring agonizing suffering and bearing the weight of the world’s sin, breathed His last breath. In His death, Jesus demonstrated His love for humanity, willingly laying down His life to reconcile us to God.
As we reflect on the significance of Good Friday, we are reminded of the cost of our salvation. Jesus’ death on the cross was not a mere historical event but the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan for humanity. It was the ultimate expression of God’s love and mercy, as He took upon Himself the punishment that we deserved, offering forgiveness and reconciliation to all who would believe in Him.
Today, as we reflect on Good Friday, let us pause to contemplate Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. May we be humbled by the depth of His love for us and inspired to live lives of devotion and obedience to Him. And may we never forget the incredible gift of salvation that we have received through His death and resurrection.
Pray
Lord, I am overwhelmed by the depth of Your love for me. Thank You for willingly laying down Your life to redeem me from sin and death. Help me to respond with a heart full of gratitude. May I never forget the price that was paid for my sins. In Jesus’ name, amen.
