THIS April 18, nearly 92 percent of the 117 million Filipinos will mark Good Friday, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which represents the ultimate
We are one with theologians who say Good Friday matters “because, on that day, God’s justice and grace met in the person of Jesus, making possible the impossible, washing what had once been unwashable, making it whiter than snow.
” They add “Good Friday matters because, through Christ’s death on the Cross, you and I can take off our old clothes of unrighteousness and put on our new clothes of Christ’s righteousness. “Good Friday matters because on that day, long ago, God brought light out of darkness and made beauty out of ashes. On that day, Jesus’ blood ran red, defeating sin and death so we might claim the spoils of His victory. “On that day, God sought us and bought us, giving us the gift of eternal life to all who would hear, believe, and receive. Good Friday matters because Jesus paid in full what we could not pay.” But truly Good Friday is only good because Sunday is coming, a time of joy and celebration, reflecting the promise of eternal life. That’s Easter Sunday, an important Christian festival – when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Bible says Christ died on a cross on a day called Good Friday. Was buried for three days. Was then resurrected and came back to life on Easter Sunday. The resurrection, considered the cornerstone of Christian belief, signifies Jesus’s triumph over death and the power of sin, offering believers hope for eternal life and provides the ultimate proof of Jesus’s divinity and the power of God.
