Why Is Good Friday Called 'Good'?

Today is Good Friday...so for a day we commemorate what is in one sense the most tragic day in Christian history, why do we call it "good"? This is the day Jesus - the Lion of Judah - was slaughtered like a lamb. He was mocked, tortured, and killed. In this video I'm unpacking why as Christians we call the day of Jesus' crucifixion "good," and what is is we're TRULY celebrating on Good Friday. 🤍

This is my first Easter since I was saved.

Happy Good Friday, sister 😃! I did a bible study on Isaiah 53 this morning. It was SO GOOD! It's made very clear that Jesus is The Messiah and bore God's wrath, took the punishment WE deserved and out of His grace and mercy, we are saved through what Jesus did for us on the cross and believe in what He said.. "It is finished." Thank you Jesus! 🤍

Up From The Grave He Arose. I miss playing it on the piano as well as singing it in church. I’ve got a hymnal and will sing it in the privacy of my home. Thank you Kaci as I needed a refreshing of Good Friday’s meaning. May God continue to Bless You and have a Blessed Happy 1st Easter with Little Man Judah and Hubby.

For Good Friday, I’ve always loved “Before the Throne” and grew up singing “In the Shadow of the Glorious Cross” by Sojourn. For Easter, Shane & Shane’s version of “The Lord is My Salvation” is easily one of my favorites!

God bless everyone. Jesus loves you all.

My favorite resurrection song is "He's Alive", recorded by Dolly Parton. I love how it describes the desolation Peter felt at denying Jesus three times and his elation when he realizes He is alive and he is forgiven.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

My favorite song for Resurrection Sunday is They Didnt Know - Kurt Carr
