40 Days of Prayer - Day 39

Day 39 – Good Friday

‘But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.’ – Isaiah 53:5‘

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.’ – Isaiah 53:5 The Crucifixion is the most scandalous event in history, as the world tried to stop Jesus from proclaiming the good news, setting the captives free, bringing sight to the blind, and giving liberty to the oppressed. Thank Jesus for His sacrifice and for showing us what it means to give of ourselves wholeheartedly to the people around us. Pray that Safta and other vulnerable children, Care Workers, Primary Caregivers across Africa, churches and volunteers with Hands at Work in Africa and the world recognise the weight of what it means for Jesus to die for us.
