Good Friday..What does it mean to you?

So this week as I was trying to focus my mind on the importance of Holy Week and what all it brings. I found myself being reluctant of taking the time to actually ponder what it means to me and actually being aware of the signifiance of the events that took place years ago. Last night it all changed for me though as I was watching this video on YouTube. It's the song Lead Me to the Cross. By the end I was in tears and had a hard time watching it for there were parts that were just to much. For me it made my reason for believing in Jesus Christ is my saviour so much stronger and defined. What he has done for me and you is beyond anything I can wrap my head around. Because the video is so realistic and humbling for me that's what made it so much more powerful. I'd encourage you to watch it but I will just warn you it is very gruesome at times.

Lyrics to How Deep the Father's Love for Us..
How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that helf Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast inJesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom
