Good Friday

Why in the world would anyone name the funeral of our Lord Jesus "Good Friday"?

He bled, they hurled insults at him, mocked him, stole his clothes and then killed him. He died a horrific death and we remember the day as Good Friday. Why?
The answer is short and sweet:

He did it for us.
The blood should have been ours. The insults should have been hurled at us. The death was what we deserved, but he did it for us. Jesus had never sinned. Not even once. He was perfect, yet still fully man, and he felt the pain. We have broken His heart over and over, yet he still chose to save us. Because of this awful day, we can have a forever of wonderful days with Christ.

Watch this video by the Skit Guys and think about what it would have been like to be at Golgotha during his crucifixion.

Because of Christ we can have a
Happy Good Friday
