Why Good Friday and Easter? A Short Salvation Story.

There is this person, who came to free each one of us. We were and we are bounded. But by what? S-I-N. You and I, we're sinful in nature,in many ways as no one is perfect. No,but not Him. 
2000 years ago, the son of God, who was born in flesh, breathe just like you and I, in Bethlehem, no room for Him but a manger, a place for cattle and donkey to eat. Sounds impossible right? 

But because the One who is sinless came to live and to die, so that we who're sinful will be saved by grace and mercy. For the world. Yes,everyone -- black,brown,yellow,and white. 
He was tempted in every way, so that we may flee from temptation in life. He did perform countless miracles. Water into wine. Walking on water. Raise a dead to life. Open the blind eyes. Heal the deaf and the lame to walk again. Yeah, it was recorded. Just required one thing called faith. He was beaten 40 stripes, the one who whipped a horse. So that by His stripes, our sickness will be healed. After this, He was tortured and shame, forced to carry the old rugged heavy wooden cross up the mountain, with bloody thorns on his head. He bleed. But He knows the destiny and purpose on earth. His hands was pierced through with nail on the cross the body was then lifted up. Don't you call that an ill mental and physical torture? Imagine if we're place in that position. Because He has suffered, you and I now may be comforted and our grieves are literally understood by the One who gone through. 
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only begotten son, that whosoever believe in Him, shall have everlasting life." Don't you think this is just a beautiful exchange? Weak made strong. Death to life. Free salvation that doesn't cost us a single thing but a belief and faith. 

His name is Jesus. He understands. He is there to comfort our souls and to assist us. Just call upon Him, you shall be saved, He's there to reach out to you, out of love. The love of a Heavenly Father. Why hesitate? 
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. —Hebrews 4:15
The Christ who died to give us life will carry us through its heartaches.
