    How Good Friday Is Good For Us

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 4, 2015
     | 5,607 views

    Jesus sees all our sins, but because he had made the ultimate sacrifice with his blood, we can have forgiveness. Christ is the sin eater who has taken care of all our sins, and that is another reason why Good Friday is good for us.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 9, 2015
     | 2,643 views

    Thursday of 5th week in Course 2015 Joy of the Gospel Jesus has such a sense of humor that some commentators have mistaken it for cruelty.
