Good Friday

God blessed us with an incredible afternoon. We got the 50ft X 40ft tent up in record time(under 2 hours), the worship team chose great music that celebrated and worshiped our Lord Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross and the rain held off long enough for the service to end and everyhing to get put back into the church. God even provided a rainbow against the backdrop of the storm.

The only bad aspect of the day was the live 30 minute morning radio program didn't happen because the crazy power fluctuations yesterday knocked the station off the air until midday.

I am still amazed at God's love for us that allows us even to see this day. That the Creator of all things would allow for His son to die for our sins and that Jesus did so willingly still boggles my mind. How can it be true? But it is! Praise Him that His act of love has set us on the path of eternal life and freed us from the tyranny of sin and death.

It still saddens me though that many people refuse to take what God so freely gives and insist that a life of slavery and bondage to sin is preferable to the freedom we find in Jesus Christ. I guess we just need to be more faithful in spreading the Good News so more come to Him to have Life.

Here in Jinja the cross that was raised along the side of Bell Avenue will be a reminder of the depth of God's love for us and on Sunday it will be a reminder of the power of God to resurrect Jesus and all who put their trust in Him.

Thank you Father! Thank you Jesus!
