GOOD FRIDAY MESSAGE FROM THE METROPOLITIAN OF INDIA

Good Friday is dark Friday when we the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ and his death upon Calvary, he died because was willing to take the sin of world, and wash them from his holy blood on the cross. He has opened the gates of heaven to those who believe on them. He promised to give us ever lasting life.

PRIMATE

A fourth century church manual, The apostolic constitutions, called good Friday a day of mourning, not a day of festive joy. Jesus crucified is the true touchstone revealing what the world is, The people stood beholding on stolid indifference, The ruler who wanted religion, but without a divine Christ crucified for then sins, reviled the prayed, the covetous sat down before the cross and played their sordid game. The cross is judgment of the world.

The attitude of our Lord Jesus Christ here characterizes this age, It is one of grace, an ascended Lord is blessing a believing people with spiritual blessings the Jewish age was marked by temporal blessings as the and temporal blessings unite.

We have all sunned, but Christ has justified us, his followers, and cleome us through his blood. Everyone who believes in him has been forgiven and is free from slavery of sun. The same faith makes you one of God’s children, adopted and new born by his spirit. Therefore as his children we can live lives by his power that are pure, holy and worthy of the gospel of our Lord.

Let us give you some guide-lines for conduct along the straight and narrow way. Following them will keep us from losing our crown of salvation and glory, by keeping us close to god; so, remember the following seven words;

  1. Live in continuous spiritual fellowship with Christ, the living word, who and wells us.
  2. Study the Bible.
  3. Pray constantly.
  4. Repent your sins.
  5. Recognize that the old self has been crucified, and live like it.
  6. Take refuge in Christ’s love.
  7. Have fellowship with other believers.
