Tomorrow (which has already started in some parts of the world), Christians around the world remember Good Friday.
Many who are not Christian wonder, “Why is Good Friday called Good Friday?”
It does seem strange that anyone would describe the day the leader of their movement was unjustly and horrifically killed as “good.”
Back on that first Good Friday, Jesus’s followers didn’t consider it to be very good either. In fact, on that day, they probably considered it the worst day ever.
Isn’t it amazing what a little perspective brings?
Here’s an excellent video to help put Good Friday in perspective…
If you like this video/post, please share it on social media.
For me, the video not only puts Good Friday in the proper perspective (with Easter Sunday coming), but it also serves as a reminder that even on our darkest day, the story is not over.
We have the hope that comes from knowing God’s goodness and power could change our entire story at any time.
And we have the assurance that the battle has already been won, in the end victory is certain, through Christ Jesus who has defeated death, despair and every other evil.
What does this video mean to you? What does Good Friday mean to you?
