Good Friday

   Why is Good Friday called, “Good” Friday? The Friday that immediately follows Maundy Thursday is the day we all know as Good Friday. As paradoxical as it may sound, there are reasons for this day to be referred to as “Good Friday.” There has been much confusion in the minds of many about the term, for the day marks the crucifixion and death of Christ. The main reason behind this day being referred to as “good” is due to what took place shortly thereafter. When the events of Friday are seen through the eyes of Easter Sunday than Friday becomes good for it speaks of the One who conquers life’s greatest enemy, death.

-Jesus rose from the tomb.

- The sins of his children have been completely atoned for.

- We shall rise with Christ.

- Friday is good because of Sunday.

   No tragedy, not even death, is so big that it can overshadow the love and grace of God.
