Bad Friday, Good Quote

It always made me curious that this day got the name Good Friday. It’s the day that followers of Jesus Christ celebrate his crucifixion (it even feels strange to write ‘celebrate’ next to crucifixion). Perhaps it should have the name Bad Friday, or something similar (but more creative).

Of course, Good Friday is one stop in a series of necessary events leading up to Easter Sunday. And I don’t mean egg hunts and chocolate bunnies. Here’s how Jesus described it:

“…The Son of Man will be turned over to the leading priests and the teachers of the law, and they will say that he must die. They will give the Son of Man to the non-Jewish people to laugh at him
and beat him with whips and crucify him. But on the third day, he will
be raised to life again.” (Matthew 20:18-19)

There’s the celebration. That’s a good Sunday, for sure.

Whatever you believe, have a wonderful Easter weekend!
