Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian holy day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary.
Today we remember Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:10). It is followed by Easter, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead, heralding his victory over sin and death and pointing ahead to a future resurrection for all who are united to him by faith.
We perceive the day as “good” because the message of Easter is of Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the devil. It is worth noting that the resurrection is not only assurance of what Christ has already done by conquering death, but it is also a reminder of the hope we have in Christ Jesus today, and the glorious moment of His return to come.
