Jesus died on “Good” Friday. He suffered in pain and anguish as He was beaten, tortured, and crucified. His family and friends watched in horror as He died an excruciating death while others mocked and spit at Him. So how can we possibly call it “good”? It is the most horrific day in history when the Savior was brutally killed because of our sin!
If the story ended on Friday, there would be nothing “good” about it. It would be the saddest, most depressing story of mankind. BUT, thankfully, it doesn’t end on Friday. Instead, it is the most joyous, incredible, amazing story of salvation, freedom, renewal, and life–because Sunday is coming!
When Jesus rose from the dead, He beat death. He triumphed over everything dark and sinful, and declared victory over the enemy. The battle isn’t over yet, but Jesus has already won and He offers to share His victory with us!
Remember, no matter how bad your circumstances are, there is always hope! Even on the saddest day in history, hope won the day. Ask Jesus to come into your situation and bring hope, restore peace, and overwhelm you with love–His love. Just as Easter morning changed the world, Jesus changes everything! Trust Him!
