Good Friday the day that changed mankind

Wow, Good Friday, really is Good Friday! Ever since I got up this morning, I have been reading scriptures and meditating on what Good Friday is all about, and what it means to mankind. Good Friday, was so necessary, and it changed everything for mankind. Because of Adam, way back in the garden, because of his rebellion and missing the mark, he plunged us all into sin. Adam because of his rebellion, he activated death, which was present in the garden, but powerless. As a result, death exercised its power over mankind. Because God said that Adam would die if he ate of the forbidden tree, God because He is Holy...had to keep His Word...someone had to die! Good Friday is someone dying in our place! Good Friday is God killing Himself, for us! Good Friday is God paying the debt of sin that we owed, but could not pay. Good Friday is God destroying the power of death over us. Good Friday is God justifying us. Good Friday is Jesus tasting (experiencing) death is all of its forms, with all of its agony and pain, for us. He did not take painkillers in order to ease the pain. he took it for us, in all of its fullness! So when pain tries to come upon us, we can boldly look it in the face, and tell it to leave our bodies, because Jesus took it fully for us, and it is illegal in our bodies, and it has no right to be there! Good Friday was Jesus totally taking the power from death. Sin bought death. Since Good Friday defeated sin, and since Jesus took away the sin of the world, then no more sin, no ,more power in death! We can look death in the eye, and say, "where is your sting?". Good Friday changed everything! I pray that everyone will get a revelation of what this day is all about. It is not about being off from work. It is so much more! It is about SUBSTITUTION!!! Jesus dying in my place, and yours! Thank You Lord.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11 He shall see the labor of His soul,[b] and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors (Isaiah 53:10-12) This is Good Friday! ‪#‎GoodFriday‬
