JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Today, Christians around the world remember the death and burial of our Lord Jesus Christ. We call this day “Good Friday,” and it reminds us of the sacrifice that was paid for our salvation.
Many people today ask if our salvation could be achieved without the cross. The answer unfortunately is no. This no is not because God lacked power to do so, but because people’s hearts were so hard it was the way they choose to end his message or so they thought.
The cross remains a symbol for all of us about how far God is willing to go to share his love with us. You and I have a God that desires blessings and not curses for us and is willing to get dirty, and, if necessary, bloody to let us know.
I hope this Easter you will not just go through the routine of Church but instead will pause and remember how far God’s love will go to reach his people.
