What is Good Friday or Holy Friday?| What Does Good Friday Mean? | GotQuestions.org

Question, what is Good Friday or Holy Friday? In this video I'll answer that question. Then afterwards I'll point you to some helpful resources, so stick around to the end. Good Friday, also known as Holy Friday, is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday.

The Crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday

It's celebrated traditionally as the day on which Jesus was crucified. If you're interested in a study of the issue, please see our article below that discusses the various views on which day Jesus was crucified.

Christian Freedom and Remembering Christ's Death

Assuming that Jesus was crucified and died on a Friday, should Christians remember Jesus' death by celebrating Good Friday? The Bible does not instruct Christians to remember Christ's death by honoring a certain.

Day.

The Bible does give freedom in these matters, however. Romans 14 verse 5 tells us, "...one man considers one day more sacred than another, another man considers every.

Day alike.

Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.". Rather than remembering Christ's death on a certain day once a year, the Bible instructs us to remember Christ's death by observing the Lord's Supper.

1 Corinthians 11 verses 24 -26 declares, "...do this in remembrance of me. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.". Why is Good Friday referred to as good?

The Goodness of Christ's Death and the Meaning of Good Friday

What the Jewish authorities and Romans did to Jesus was definitely not good. See Matthew 26 -27. However, the results of Christ's death are very good. Romans 5 .8 says, "...but God demonstrates His own love for us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ.

Died for us.".

1 Peter 3 .18 tells us, "...for Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body, but made alive by the Spirit.". Many Christian churches celebrate Good Friday with a subdued service, usually in the evenings in which Christ's death is remembered with solemn hymns, prayers of thanksgiving, a message centered on Christ's suffering for our sake, and the observance of the Lord's Supper.

The Cross and Resurrection as the Paramount Events of the Christian Faith

Whether or not Christians choose to celebrate Good Friday, the events of that day should ever be on our minds, because the death of Christ on the cross, along with His bodily resurrection is the paramount event of the Christian faith.
