HE died for me

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
As many of you know it's Good Friday tomorrow. But have you really thought about the implications of that. It is the day when we call to rememberance what our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ did for us in dying on the cross in our place. The Bible says in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." This is what Jesus did for us. The greatest expression of love ever to be shown was in Christ laying down His life for us. He paid our sin debt in full. He took the blame for all the wrong things we have ever done and He willing submitted Himself to the Father and died in our place; taking the punishment we deserve. That is why it is important to know why it is we celebrate Good Friday. GOD the Father sent His Son into the world, born of a woman (Galatians 4:4) to die in the place of sinners. Now isn't that just wonderful.
