As we look forward to celebrating the resurrection of our Savior on Easter Sunday, it’s important to reflect on the importance of Jesus’ death as the means for our salvation. We remember Christ’s crucifixion with a combination of grief and gratefulness this Good Friday.
This Good Friday event was foretold in Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
We can be healed and our relationship restored because of the work of Christ on the Cross.
The term “Good Friday” first occurred in the fourth century. Some think it was originally called “God’s Friday.” Today we can call it “good” if we appreciate the fact that Jesus’ trial, punishment, and death brought our salvation. So in that sense it truly is “Good Friday!” Thank you, Jesus, for your love, faithfulness, and sacrifice so that we can be forgiven from our sins and redeemed unto You.
