How did Jesus make Good Friday good?

“It is finished” John 19:30

The world was turned upside down with the death of Jesus. Religion was declared void and replaced by faith in Jesus. Satan was defeated and death is not a concern for a believer.

Good Friday was a painful day for Jesus. He was beaten, verbally mocked and finally tortured to death. Jesus suffered a humiliating end to His life.

Jesus was faithful to God to the very end. He didn’t want to experience Good Friday but knew this was God’s will.

Good Friday was very successful for all humanity. The death of Jesus provided forgiveness for all our sins and the gift of salvation for believers.

We owe a lot to Jesus to escape death and have our slate wiped clean with His blood. 

Good Friday happened because of the unconditional love of God. He wanted to change a rebellious and self serving mankind into the character and purity of God.

There is no hope in the world but now we have great hope in the promises of Jesus.

Good Friday can give a mere mortal a new life filled with the goodness of Jesus. There is no fear of death for a Christ follower.

Good Friday was a victory for Jesus and all humanity.

The portal to experiencing Good Friday is these words; “Not my will but Yours be done.”
