But during this crazy time of year ... when everyone's rushing around for the perfect gifts ... we need to reel ourselves back in and remember that first "Black Friday" -
...Where Jesus was scourged, beaten, mocked and sacrificed himself at Calvary that we might have His free gift of everlasting life.
Isaiah 53:5
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed."
1 Peter 2:24
"Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed."
Romans 6:23
"But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
