Good Friday is the this day in history when Jesus gave His life by dying on the cross. What makes this Friday “good”? Doesn’t it seem blood-thirsty and wrong to call the anniversary of the death of Jesus “good”? On Sunday we will rejoice and celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and eternal enthronement. Celebrating that makes good sense. Yet, there is a goodness to what Jesus did on that Friday two thousand years ago. Good Friday is the day that Jesus gave up His life willingly to take upon Himself ALL our sins. He died for our sins ONCE so that we could be forgiven when we put our faith and trust in Him. How could one sacrifice accomplish all that? The writer of Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 9:23-28, because unlike the sacrifices in the Old Testament, Jesus’ sacrifice was the BEST!
