Thursday is the day we celebrate the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a solemn occasion. What man meant for evil, God did much good. It cost Him His life to share with us this most expensive gift of everlasting life. Remember that when He suffered, He did in our place, enduring the punishment that we deserve for our sins against Him. In exchange for the harsh torturous torments, He offers forgiveness. We can't add any of our worthless works to that. We can only receive the gift by trusting Him Who gives it.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Here is the audio of the gospel of John. If you want to start at the betrayal of Jesus, chapter 18, go to 1:33:15
