Blessed Good Friday!
Good Friday is good because Jesus Christ died so that all who trust and believe in Him will have eternal life, and we no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died and was raised. Put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today – find out more here or here.
For all who already trust Jesus, may this Good Friday be a day to reflect on our Saviour’s indescribable love for us that led him Via Dolorosa to Calvary, where He died that death we should have died. May we then live the life He wants and wills us to live, with faith, hope and joy abiding in Him. Because He lives, we can face tomorrow.
Blessed Good Friday to all, from all of us at EAST!
P.S. See our Holy Saturday reflective post on “Why is there suffering?“

The Firstborn of All Creation
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” – Colossians 1:15-16, ESV
For everything, absolutely everything finds purpose in Him who is the beginning and the end.
