Sam’s Hangout #106 - “GOOD FRIDAY THOUGHTS”
Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

GOOD FRIDAY THOUGHTS
Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "GOOD FRIDAY THOUGHTS”. As we all know, today has been declared good Friday, a solemn Christian holiday that symbolizes the death of Jesus Christ. On this day, Christians are expected to remember the deep sacrifice that was made on the cross of calvary; the sufferings and crucifixion that took place for the redemption of every soul. It's a day for personal reflection, one that implores everyone to take lessons from the great love of Christ, in hopes that it influences how they treat one another here on earth. But like every other religious holidays, it is important to know if the essence is still being preserved by those who observe it.
Here’s the question!
Our physical hangout is still on our minds and big plans are being made behind the scenes. Please check our Last Post for updates, and thank you to everyone contributing towards making it a reality.
If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.
Okay Let's Gist!!!
Don't you think we are forgetting somebody?... Well, I'm sure we are...
FRIDAY PLANS, OWANBE SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
To make our hangout more interactive, we have decided to add two events to spice it up.
On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.
On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.
Don't forget to join us!!
There are no strict rules as regards this weekend hangout. Feel free to speak any Nigerian language you like, whether Igbo, Yoruba, pidgin, Efik, or others, as long as it can be understood.

Hello guys 👋💗
First off, I believe this is the time to remember/reflect on the sacrifice of Christ, how he has choosed to love us and forgive us.
Well, that was how it was while I was till growing up, it goes beyond just a date and all of that, but at the moment it's no longer like that, not as if I've lost my faith but then I feel the real message of good Friday is no longer reflecting in how most of us live, I am saying that because a lot of us are now so focused on our struggles, how to survive, how to make ends meet and all of that, so it's begining to feel more symbolic for most us....
As it is now, most of us just posted on our status and just go about our day, while some of us didn't even post anything about it because we are so busy trying to hustle and survive and the deep meaning behind good Friday which is love, forgiveness, sacrifice and all of that is most times not remembered during the course of the day....
Personally, I do not hold much to Good Friday, unlike when I was still growing up. Things seems to be a bit better then, so we reflect, see it as sacred and try to adjust our lives and doings to the Christ like nature. But today it's not like that anymore, even though I still try to create some minutes to reflect and think of His finished work on the cross and how I can become more kind, loving and forgiving. ...which to be honest with you, I haven't have the time for it today sef 🥺🥺

@chefqueen
Come out mouth for mic o 🎤
🏃🏃🏃
You're really right.... His love is not reflecting in our lives like it's supposed to and everyday by day it seems like we are threading in the path of nailing him to the cross another time
Exactly ma'am ☺️
It is well with us 🙂
❤️❤️❤️
Happy Weekend, Everyone 🌹
Truth be told, I'm not moved by Easter and even Christmas, there's nothing attached to my Friday, no personal reflection, not engaging in any different spiritual activity, just my regular prayers and my usual day.
I respect those who celebrate Easter, their believes and opinions. Gone are those days I act like I feel something different at Easter or even Christmas.
It's just a regular Friday for me, being me and doing the regular. Looking forward to watching a movie tonight, definitely not Passion of Christ.
Peace and love 💕 ✌️
@goldenproject @afrikens @chefqueen @marsdave @cohlson it's hangout time 🥳
To be honest with you, that's how I feel about it too... nothing too special. Just a few thought of the cross🤞
Same here.
How are you doing ?

Same here.
How are you doing ?
It's the "definitely not passion of Christ" for me.... This Vanilla ehn
Happy good Friday my naija peeps
Indeed, it's a day of total reflection about the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. It's been 6 hours of good Friday activities in my church where the youth have been acting drama showing the journey of Jesus and his suffering until he finally died on the cross.
While on this journey since morning, I saw some persons crying passionately seeing how the guy that acted Jesus was being tormented ...that's a heart breaking down from these persons crying but then, are we really living our lives to show that his death isn't just symbolic?
Well,I don't think so for many people. A lot of us christians do it as ceremonial but not really allowing the sacrifice in the cross to hv positive impact in our lives,if not why does evil keep prevailing ? Brothers fighting each other, kilimgs, friends betraying each other ,cheating of all kinds and more...
I really hope that we humbly reflect genuinely and let the purpose of the death of Jesus make difference in our lives by striving to live an upright life at all times
That's just it... A lot are just observing it for ceremonial sake and not to live our lives
May God help us
LFG 🚀
What's that
Happy weekend and Easter celebration everyone.

Here's the hangout.
Do make sure to hangout and not hangout ...you know better 😂.
So, do well to engage and participate 😉
This is one day when we have this personal reflections of our journey whether we're still in line or not with the Love that Christ preached and sacrificed for.
Unfortunately, the reflection isn't coming easily except we see movies and graphics that remind us, we cry as we watch, feel Remorseful, a minute repentance, movie ends, tears dries off, we go back to our previous lives.
The world is at the time where the beloved can only be saved by grace alongside our efforts to remain saved. So my prayer always is that God should grant us the abundant grace to stick to him especially at this time of life
And I think one thing they do say you shouldn't eat on a good Friday is meat or anything that has blood.
How true is this? @marsdave @goldenproject @oluwadrey @van.illa @chefqueen
Hello everyone,.
So truly Good Friday has its own kind of importance to many believers,it is seen as a day that jesus died for our sins, here at home, it has alot of significance. And I can still say it is a day that we all should take seriously to reflect on life itself.
So in days like this In my house we attend church programme, we fast for the day just to keep It holy and then we sometimes sing hymns about the death of jesus and his risen again.
So basically many families have different routines on days like this , I have shared mine
