I won’t be posting a video today, instead I wanted to talk about Good Friday.
Why is it this day is called Good? After all, Good Friday is the observation of the day that Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross. Should this not be called “Sad Friday” or “Tragic Friday” instead?
Using “good” does not necessarily imply happiness or joy. Actually in other languages there are different names: Romance languages typically refer to it as “Holy Friday”, and in German it is known as “Karfreitag” (Sorrowful Friday).
The reasoning of this day being called “good” is because it represents the culmination of God’s plan for salvation through Jesus’ sacrifice. Good Friday commemorates the solemnity and gravity of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, while also observing the goodness and holiness of God’s plan.
The world was in desperate need of a savior, and that savior is Jesus Christ. Now all who receive Jesus by faith, that is, believe in His death and resurrection, will have eternal life in heaven! Praise be to God for His goodness and gift of grace!
As Paul wrote to the Romans: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.” Romans 3:23-26 ESV
I hope you all have a happy Easter and can enjoy some time with friends and family!
