“It is finished.” – John 19:30 Three words that changed everything.
Good Friday, the words themselves carry a weight, a solemnity that resonates through the ages. It's a day marked in history, a day of sorrow and sacrifice yet, a day brimming with bright hope. It's a day we remember the ultimate act of love, the selfless giving of Christ on the cross, that it wasn't the end but a doorway to eternity.
This isn't just a religious holiday; it's a pivotal moment in human history. While Christmas often echoes with the phrase, “Jesus is the reason for the season,” it’s just as true—perhaps even more profound—on Good Friday. This day marks the ultimate act of love and sacrifice. It’s a day that reminds us not just that Christ came, but why He came.
He came to save.
He came to reconcile.
He came to bear our sins and give us life eternal.
It's not a fiction but a story of redemption, of forgiveness, and of the unwavering love of a divine being for his creation. It's a story that transcends cultures and beliefs, speaking to the inherent goodness and resilience of the human spirit.
Just take a moment to think about this: the weight of the world, the burden of mankind sins, the pain of betrayal – all carried on the shoulders of one man, not because He had to, but because of His unshakeable love for humanity—for you and me. Good Friday is not just a commemoration of suffering; it is a declaration of purpose. Christ willingly endured the cross.

Good Friday is not about mourning a death—it’s about remembering the price of love. |
This Good Friday, let's take a moment to truly appreciate the sacrifice. Let's reflect on the meaning of Christ's suffering and death, not just as a historical event, but as a deeply personal and transformative experience. Let this Good Friday be a moment of pause. A moment to remember that the nails did not hold Him to the cross—love did. And because of that love, Sunday is coming.
Let's remember the hope that blossoms from the cross, the promise of resurrection, the unwavering belief in second chances, and the enduring power of faith.
It's a day for quiet contemplation, for prayer, for connecting with our spirituality, whatever form that may take. It's a day to remember the ultimate sacrifice and the immeasurable love that it represents. It's a day to carry that love forward into our own lives, into our interactions with others, and into the world around us.
Christ is the reason for the season. Let's not forget that this Good Friday, and every other day.
