Why is Good Friday Good?

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were

raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Matthew 27:50-53 NIV

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 

Hebrews 12:2 NIV

Good Friday is good because we remember that Christ died for us. The resurrection has meaning because of the crucifixion. The work of the crucifixion is validated in the resurrection. Today we remember and thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for dying for our sins. He died so that we may live...thank you, Jesus.
