Friday is Good
Good Friday is called “Good” because of the day’s connection to Easter. Certainly, the actual day of Jesus’ death did not feel “good” to any of His family or friends. But then, on Sunday morning, resurrection redefined His death. Since then, every Holy Week Friday has been called “Good Friday” because it occurs after the Resurrection of Christ. The Good Friday worship service is a solemn remembrance of the Crucifixion done in the knowledge that death is the precursor of the Resurrection.
