Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”?
The punishment Jesus suffered was definitely not good. However, the results of Christ’s death are very good! Romans 5:8, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 1 Peter 3:18, “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8) “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). There is GOOD news this Friday! Jesus paid the price so we can be forgiven. If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you can find a simple prayer on our website-resources page to pray today (http://www.f2tnow.com/resources).
