Another excellent Good Friday service on North Beach Wallaroo. What a blessing it is to celebrate the 2 sacraments that are held by the the Baptist belief (Communion and Baptism) on Good friday. Both sacraments are reminders and symbols of the death and resurrection of our Lord and saviour Jesus. The message on the cross reads " Iesu Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum" (Latin for, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) INRI. This was meant by Pilate as an insult deriding the claims of Jesus, as a sign to others to say "this is what we do to those who claim to be king". Instead of an insult this is now a title we are proud of when we identify as Christians. May you be richly blessed this Easter as you ponder the significance of Jesus as King!
