On Good Friday 2026
By Steven Brodsky
… I’m thankful for what Jesus did for us on “an old rugged cross” on Good Friday AD 33.
Sinless Jesus willingly died on that cross so that we sinners may have everlasting life in His presence.
Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Jesus loves us.
