Today is Good Friday, as a Christian this day is the very important part for my Christian Faith. So, as I take a pause and make some soul searching and reviving my Christian faith. Let me share to you this story what I read in a book “Our Daily Bread”.

Matthew Henshaw got his name into Guinness Book of World Records in an unusual way. After swallowing a 15.9-inch sword, Henshaw attached a 40-pound sack of potatoes to the handle of the sword and held it for 5 seconds (This is not recommended).

Henshaw and others like him have gone to extraordinary lengths to have their names memorialized in the world’s most famous record book. The longing for immortality compels people to do many things-some remarkable, and some bizarre.

The immortality Jesus offers has nothing to do with anything we do.In fact, after giving His disciples the authority to do truly remarkable things Jesus said, “Do not rejoice… that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven”

At Golgotha, an unnamed thief beleif that the message just in time (Luke 23:40-42). He understood that the eternal life had nothing to do with what he had done-good or bad. It had to do with what Jesus was doing-giving His own life so that even the undeserving could be welcomed into heaven by God. The important thing is being remembered not by others, but by God.

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,

In my place condemned He stood,

Sealed my pardon with His blood:

Hallelujah, what a saviour!-Bliss

Remember me when You come into Your kingdom.-Luke 23:42

Our live matter because God loves us.
