I was a cradle Catholic, which in other words means that from infancy on up I was Catholic. I am no longer one, but that is a whole other blog post. Good Friday was always a huge deal because it was the Anniversary of the day Jesus gave His life for us. Today I am no longer Catholic, but it is still just as big a deal. Some have asked me, "How do you know that this is truly the day Jesus was crucified?" I honestly am not 100% positive that it is the exact day that he was crucified, but same as Christmas, I don't find it wrong to be thankful on that day. So even if today isn't the exact day that He died, I'm still going to think about and be even more thankful today........Jesus was scared about suffering to the extent He would, and dying the way He would....I don't think people think about the fact that He was human and had every emotion that we have. :( He had the immense fear that any man or woman would have within them from knowing that they were about to be tortured, mocked, and killed in the most horrific ways......Matthew 26: 39 "And he went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, " O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt...."......He was scared....I think if we think about how difficult it was for Him to do what He did....it will make us even more thankful. He was God's Son, He very easily could've turned off the pain, killed/tortured every soldier that was there or hurt Him, or made it all stop with a single breath from His chest..........but He didn't........Thank you Jesus for everything you did and endured for us.....I have no words.....
