Good Friday...

Today, we celebrate Good Friday and think upon the cost our sin bore our Savior!  We think about the fact God the Father turned His back on His Son for us- bearing the full wrath of God!  This morning, Jeremiah and I worked on our Resurrection Eggs going through each one and laying them out on the table and then we read in the Jesus Storybook Bible the story of Jesus' Betrayal in the Garden- his crucifixion and death!  One line in the story just caught me- the one bearing tears was the One who would wipe every tear from every eye!  God the Father crushed the Son for US!  Praise God!  Praying that Jeremiah understands the full weight of sin today and the suffering of Christ on the cross!  This year we have made a resurrection garden and planted grass seed which is nicely growing- we put Jesus on the cross today and then took him down and wrapped him in linen (TP) and placed him in our tomb and rolled the stone at the entrance of the tomb!  How we can't wait for Sunday morning when we get to sing- He Has RISEN from the dead- just like He said!

 We tried making some lamb cupcakes the other day for an Easter egg hunt and used jelly beans to make flower cupcakes- may we contemplate the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world today!  Happy Good Friday- Christ died and was buried for us!
