Have you ever wondered why the day Jesus was crucified is called Good Friday? What is good about Jesus dying? He was an innocent man who was crucified unjustly.

It’s not good that He died; it’s good because of what came from His death and what it means for us. His death means we get to spend eternity with Him in Heaven. And it’s good because He rose again on the third day!

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Because He died, we are healed. On Good Friday, we should reflect, ask for forgiveness, and thank God for His sacrifice. But remember — it is good because He is risen, and we get to spend eternity with Him in Heaven.
