Lessons of Good Friday

The story of Jesus's crucifixion, as recorded in the Gospels almost 2,000 years ago, teach us a lot about our own lives. I learn the following :

1. Guiding our Emotions to overcome Negativity -?Jesus suffered physical as well as emotional torture. He was despised and rejected by mankind. Yet he talked about Forgiveness of Sin of mankind. He uttered -?"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."?Jesus did not carry any negative emotions in his heart. His heart was full of?positivity & forgiveness.?Similarly, when we?fill our heart with?positive emotions of love, forgiveness, mercy & kindness - we free ourselves from all negativities.
2. Turning the Negative in Positive at any situation-?We know that Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion. That day was an awful day of suffering, sorrow, and shed of blood at the cross. But still we remember this day as "Good Friday" because It brings us Divine mercy, peace & forgiveness. The cross is where we see the convergence of great suffering and God’s forgiveness. This day is also followed by Easter, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead, heralding his victory over sin and death.

3.?Plan to be Positive -?Practice Mercy & Forgiveness - We receive divine forgiveness, mercy, and peace because Jesus willingly took our divine punishment. That means we matter to the Great Lord. Each one of us is loved. The fundamental human drives that we we seeking is a sense of purpose, value & happiness. That's why we must consciously plan to be positive & happy everyday. Make an act of kindness, have compassion, a heart full of gratitude - is all we need.

Good Friday & Easter gives the message of Positivity to me. Positivity & Optimism bring happiness to our brains & minds. "Happy minds, make happy people.?Happy people make a happy enterprise.?Happy enterprises make a happy world."?It all starts with you & me. And with positive thoughts & emotions the RESSURECTION.
