Why Good Friday is Good

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him"

That, my friends, in the very essence of why we celebrate Good Friday- because Jesus' death was our redemption.

His suffering was our healing,

His sacrifice was our liberation,

His sorrow was our joy,

and His death was our life!

So rejoice in the life we all have here and now in Christ Jesus, for as Paul wrote:

"We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life" (Romans 6:4)

It's not about what we've done, but about what He did.

The cross is a love story.
