Good Friday

March 21

Now that I realize what Jesus did that day, good seems like an understatement. Why isn't it Great Friday or Sacrifice Friday or Super Friday or God Friday?
A friend reminds me this time of the year that “you have to go through Good Friday in order to get to Easter." Jesus knew He had to die for us to live. The Lamb of God went obediently to the Cross.

That first Friday was indeed, God Friday.

Even during those excruciating hours on the cross, Jesus had the compassion to pray, "Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)
