Happy Good Friday!

HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY!

Happy Good Friday! For without this day in history we would not be celebrating the most important day in Christianity, Resurrection Sunday!

The first Good Friday, was more a ‘mourning Friday ‘ than a ‘Good Friday‘. It was the day of the gruesome, horrific death of Jesus Christ. Oh! How troubling this was to all of Christ’s followers. The death of Christ had to have left them feeling defeated, scared, isolated, and lost. Wondering where do they go from here? They had no idea how they would go on now that Jesus Christ, their Rabbi, and mentor, had been crucified by the authorities of their time, The Romans. Their reaction to this scourge was human, go into hiding for fear of the Roman soldiers coming after them. No, this Friday was not good. Far from it. Their leader Jesus was dead and buried. How frightened they must have been. Until! Until The third day – Resurrection Sunday! The day that changed the followers of Jesus Christ. The day that would change the whole world.

Now that was over 2,000 years ago. But now we know that the Friday Christ was crucified was GOOD. Good Friday brought forth a promise. Good Friday showed us life after death. Good Friday is not a day of mourning. it’s a Good Friday! Its was Good! Christ died for our sins and through his death and resurrection we get to share in God’s glorious promise

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. John 11:25

Happy Resurrection Sunday!
