Black Friday and Good Friday

"It is good for nothing," cries the buyer; But when he has gone his way, then he boasts.
Proverbs 20:14

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

I write this blog post on “Black Friday,” the day after Thanksgiving when buyers shop for incredible deals.

I thought about the best deal ever which was purchased for us on “Good Friday,” the day when Christ Jesus was crucified to pay for His people’s sins. Good Friday was followed, of course, by Easter Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead, sealing the Good Friday deal.

If you are shopping today, I pray you get good deals. If you want the best deal of all time and eternity, however, seize the deal Jesus purchased for His people. Instead of paying less money for more stuff (as in Black Friday deals), the Good Friday deal is when the redeemed give up our sin and receive everlasting and abundant life in Christ! And it is available 365 days of every year!

Be sure to tell other people about this greatest of all deals!
