Dear Church Family,
At first glance, the question almost feels unsettling: Why is Good Friday called “good”? After all, it marks the day our Lord was crucified—a day of suffering, sorrow, and sacrifice.
Yet, within that darkness shines the greatest good the world has ever known.
The Scripture declares:
“But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, ASV)
Good Friday is “good” not because of what Jesus endured, but because of what His suffering accomplished. On that cross, sin was paid for. Justice was satisfied. Mercy was extended. The barrier between God and man was torn down.
