Why is it called Good Friday?
“Good Friday is called ‘good’ because, through Christ’s death, God accomplished the redemption of His people. Jesus satisfied the demands of God’s justice, bore the curse of sin and secured forgiveness for all who trust in Him. What seemed like tragedy was actually triumph.” — Ligonier Ministries
At first glance, there seems to be nothing “good” about this day. It marks suffering, injustice and the death of Jesus on a cross. But the meaning of Good Friday is not found only in what happened—it is found in what was accomplished through it.
That is why Christians call this day “good.” Not because of the pain, but because of the promise it fulfilled.
Wishing you a reflective, peaceful and meaningful Good Friday. ✝️
