Summary

In today’s devotional, we are reflecting on Good Friday, the day Jesus went to the cross on our behalf. Thinking about the death of Jesus is a somber experience, yet it’s important for each of us to recognize the incredible length God was willing to go to on our behalf. So today, let’s explore why Jesus had to suffer and what his sacrifice means for each of us. Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 6:23, and today's worship is  Healer by Kari Jobe. -- Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 to find real rest is for YOU.    First15’s brand-new devotional book called Rhythms was written with you in mind.    Each day of this 28-day devotional invites you to break away from your normal rhythm of waking, eating, working, and sleeping to discover a spiritual rhythm that, when practiced, will lead you into a more vibrant, abundant life in every way that matters.   Jesus wasn’t kidding when he said you can find rest in the midst of the craziness of life. He can give it to you, and Rhythms will guide you in that direction.   We’d love to send you a copy to say thanks for your donation of $25 or more today.   So please request your copy today at supportfirst15.org — and thank you for your donation to help create more content that helps more people connect with God each day!   https://first15.org/give/  https://first15.org/
