Good Friday service ‘a mere tradition for some’

A GOOD FRIDAY CHURCH SERVICE is for many nothing more than a tradition and they fail to see that it is an acknowledgement of what God did for us, said Reverend Davis Browne of the New Testament Church of God.
Browne was speaking during the Good Friday service at the church on River Road, St Michael, yesterday.
He said that because of the direction the world was going in, many did not believe in God, The Bible or the “work that Jesus did on the cross for us and therefore see no need to go to church”.
“But when we look at what is happening in the world today, everything is pointed to us, to the reality of a God. We as Christians that know and serve that God cannot forget what he has done for us,” he said.
He focused his message on the work that Christ did on the cross in cancelling the death of sin for all mankind and “releasing us from the bondage of the old Mosaic Law to live under a new covenant of grace provided by God through the death, burial and resurrection of His son, the Lord Jesus”.
 “There is absolutely hope in God. The purpose of Jesus’ coming was to bring hope to all that were lost. That still stands today and it stands as long as the world lasts and the joy of it is this which the world need not forget: though it seems as though hope is going or, even worse yet, lost, it is not lost but it is still very much alive in God. As long as God lives and He lives forever, we all have hope,” said Browne. (AH)
