Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday:
A Testament to Divine Love
Key Scripture: But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4)
I have come to know the amazing grace of God. I have tasted and seen the goodness and mercy of God. In the darkest moment of my life, I encountered Yeshua (Jesus) as a living and loving God. I have come to understand the power of the Cross of Christ. This Easter, I invite you to examine the faithfulness and credibility of this truth.
The cross and the empty tomb are profound symbols of God’s unwavering love for all humanity. They represent a narrative of sacrifice, hope, and redemption that transcends time and culture.
From the Old Testament, the prophecy in Isaiah 53:5 speaks of a suffering servant who bore our sins: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.” This foretells the immense love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
In the New Testament, John 3:16 encapsulates this love: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” It highlights a divine love that calls humanity to grace and hope.
This message resonates universally. For Hindus, it echoes the timeless themes of sacrifice for dharma (righteousness) and liberation from the cycle of suffering. For Muslims, it aligns with recognising Jesus (Isa Isa) as a prophet and a symbol of God’s mercy and guidance.
On this Good Friday, reflect on the humility of the cross. On Resurrection Sunday, rejoice in the victory over death. Together, they call us to redefine success—not in worldly terms, but in eternal perspective: living with wisdom, compassion, and purpose.
I pray and hope that you will seek God the Creator as your only redeemer, the way and life. Let the Good Friday guide you to a living hope. Let the resurrection Sunday bring you a rejoicing.
