Pastor Doug's Thought for Today April 3

April 3rd, 2026
by Doug Walter

Good Morning,
Today is Good Friday. Have you ever wondered why we call it Good Friday. Good Friday gets its name from an older sense of the word "good" that meant holy or sacred — the same way people once used phrases like "the good book" to refer to the Bible. So "Good Friday" essentially means "Holy Friday," marking it as a solemn, sacred day in the Christian calendar. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, which Christians believe was an act of ultimate sacrifice that opened the way for humanity's redemption. We had a nice turnout for Maundy Thursday Prayer and Come and Go Communion. Tonight is our Good Friday or Holy Friday Service at 6:00 pm. I believe it will enhance your Easter experience to be here. Easter is Sunday and it will be a glorious day. We have family and old friends coming I hope you will join us at Ashland. Enjoy a beautiful rainy day today!

Blessings, Doug

Today's Scripture

Hebrews 12:2 (New International Version)

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Today's Thought

This is a day to fix our eyes on Jesus. Today will be a day in the life of Jesus filled with challenge and pain. We must walk along and endure what He endures for on Easter we enjoy the glory He enjoys. May this Easter weekend fill your heart with the love and grace of Jesus. Just a thought for today!
