The Day God Died

Satan rejoiced, demons did cartwheels, his plan had succeeded Christ the Saviour was now Christ the Corpse. You can see why he named it Good Friday can't you?
Why 'Good' Friday?
You've probably noticed that humanity is rebellious, and utterly corrupt. You see it everyday in the news, your workplace, and even in your homes. But one of the clearest illustrations of mankind's depravity, is what it calls one particular day.
Throughout eternity saints and angels will worship the Lord for what He did one Friday in Jerusalem, two thousand years ago. It was the day God died.
When Immortality surrendered to mortality, the Infinite became as nothing, and the Righteous One became sin. Without question, it's the most painful day Heaven, ever has or ever will endure. Remembrance of it still cuts through the three hearts who paid the ultimate price.
It is the blackest blot on the awful record of human history. One that will never be erased. Yet religious, sin-sick people call this day, 'Good Friday'.
They no doubt have some pious explanation for such a crass misnomer, I'm not interested. The day is not 'Good' Friday. It is the day God chose to die. For you, and for me.
Satan was jubilant at the sight of a stone cold Jesus in a death-chilled tomb. They queued for a glimpse of Christ the Saviour clasped in death's bondage, now Christ the Corpse.
In life, they couldn't get near Him, His presence made them flee. But now, His anointing gone, they riddled His body with every conceivable disease and infirmity.
Lucifer's heart swelled with pride, his plan had succeeded. He had in his hands humanity's Only Hope, the dead Messiah.
The day God chose to die

If you don't believe that Jesus is God, you'll die in your sins. See Holy Bible Jn. 8:24
You may be a church-goer and profess to believe, but if you have not had this precious revelation in your heart, then you are still unsaved and Hell-bound.
It is the only way into the kingdom of God, and is imparted by the Father to those who genuinely repent and trust in Christ as Saviour. See 1 Co.12:3 and Mtt. 16:16
If you're not sure, don't be alarmed you can be certain that you are saved right now. Make Sure You Are Saved
Jesus Christ is God in the Flesh
John 1:1-14 declares; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. And...
