Synopsis: We have approached the last week of Lent. We have approached Good Friday. Let us remember that this Friday is a reminder that our Savior laid down His live so that our life will be saved. As we approach Easter, allow this to be a sober reminder that we are alive in Christ. He is alive. He has risen indeed. We can now go into the presence of the Father and he will hear us.
