Worship is important whenever it happens, but if I had to rank the importance of worship services, I would say that Good Friday and Easter Sunday would tie for the top spot. On Good Friday, we relive the story of Christ’s suffering and death, knowing this gracious act is what saves us from sin. Easter, of course, brings us the story of the resurrection, proof that the work done by our Savior on Good Friday is effective.
Wherever you may be, let me encourage you to find a Good Friday worship service near you in a church that will treat the story as real and relevant. (If you’re near Holston View Methodist Church in Weber City, Va., ours will be at 7 p.m.) If for some reason you cannot do so, let me at least offer you the chance to read it for yourself:
Blessings on you all.
