Why is it “Good”Friday?

by Grace Tung

Today is called “Good Friday.” When I was younger I didn’t understand why it was called good when Jesus died. I thought it should be called “Bad Friday.” Over the years, I’ve grown in my understanding of the gospel. I’ve also grown in my understanding of goodness, and the paradox of true good coming from bad.

I was blessed by this video earlier this week, and wanted to share it with all of you as we consider the cross of Jesus Christ.

I’m praying for each of us to experience the love and goodness of God through Good Friday Service today, and through the promise of Easter to come.
