And so it's called "Good Friday" not sad Friday, or horrific Friday...but why??? Because the God of the Universe, The Mighty One of Israel, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, Lover of my soul and yours... laid down His life and counted it all joy to purchase us back with His Precious Blood. My Redeemer loves me so much, He suffered and died for me so that I could enjoy everlasting life with Him... and THAT is why is called Good Friday!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU JESUS, Lover of my soul!!!
“It is finished!” was Jesus’ victory cry over evil that his human death vanquished. No more does it wield power over us, if we surrender to His command to follow Him and assist in creating heaven on earth.
I read today that “Good” was translated from the word, “Holy”. The Friday of Jesus Crucifixion was considered a “holy” day for centuries. To me, this makes sense, why we would call it Good or Great Friday, instead of Black Friday, which to my modern sensibities would be more appropriate. A “holy” day because Good Friday was only part of what happened. Good Friday was the beginning, Resurrection Sunday was the end, (and the new beginning).
I like Good.... When I was a child, maybe 10 or 11, I thought about Jesus' horrific death on the cross and felt a tremendous sadness. At the same time, I had a strong conviction that it MUST happen that way. There was NO other way. It made for my salvation and yours. For many, many, many people saved. Now, it reminds me of the 6 days of Creation when, at the end of each day, God declares it is Good. The work that He has done for us, it is very Good!!!
