Most Filipinos will have yesterday and today as a somber time.
I remember when I was in my childhood days, I was scolded for making joyful noise. I was asked "don't you know that god is dead and that I should mourn?".
It’s just so sad that Filipinos today are still blinded by the truth that Jesus died on the cross
only once for
our salvation and that was 2000 years ago but people just kill Him again and again every year. And still some insults Him by having themselves nailed on the cross as if Jesus’ death was not enough to save them from sin.
The Bible say in Hebrews 7: 24 – 28
24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he
is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
The truth is that Jesus died for our sins once and for all! No one else is capable of saving us from our sins-- It was a perfect ultimate sacrifice! We don’t expect a dead Jesus for He was already raised from the dead. So then, we should live as “Easter Sunday” people in a Good Friday world!
For me, that is what so good about Good Friday-- We don't serve a dead god! My Redeemer lives forever!
