Happy Good Friday, friends in the Lord.  I found this story to be filled with good news, despite the obvious bad news headline;

"We find ourselves facing what is more than a conversion to the Christian faith," he said. "It's a mass exodus from Islam."

On this day, we remember the sacrifice of the Lord who gave His only begotten son so that we might, through His Grace, have eternal life.  Iran's government can take the lives of mortal Christians, but they cannot take the heavenly life from them.  I hope you will be joining rejoicing Christians on Sunday, who will celebrate joyously the  triumph of Jesus over death as he rose from the tomb.  His life was a testament to the promises God prophesied through the scriptures over the centuries.  He is the Good News!
