​St. Barnabas Anglican Parish Bluff.

Today's gospel 
John 18:1- 19:42

Today, being GOOD FRIDAY, the text is on the Passion of Jesus Christ, with the subthemes;
- the arrest of Jesus.
- Peter's first denial
- High priest question Jesus 
- Peter's second denial 
- Jesus before Pilate 
- Jesus sentenced to Crucifixion 
- the death and burial of Jesus. 

The cross provides forgiveness and redemption for sins.

God has shown His love and sacrifice for humanity through the passion of Jesus Christ, which Jesus embraces willingly. Jesus becomes our substitute for sin and punishment. By His painful death on the cross, we are reconciled with God. 

Today, we're with all who stand by the foot of the cross. Our life is in the safe hands of the crucified Lord and Saviour.

Let us pray. 

Lord Jesus Christ,  remember us when You come into Your Kingdom. May we live as redeemed people. Thank you  for loving us so much up to the point of death. Thank you for Your sacrifice, and the impact of the cross on our lives.
Amen.
