Good Friday

By
Real Estate Agent with Sibcy Cline Realtors

The other day a student of mine asked why we celebrate Good Friday.  Wow, what a perfect opportunity. As I was explaining, the boy asked why someone's death would be celebrated, especially if it was a person with the character of Jesus.  For a non-christian this day probably does seem strange but for a christian this is one of the big three days to celebrate, Christmas, Good Friday, & the glorious Easter.  God in all his glory came to us as a child, died as our Savior, and rose again to conquer death.  How could we not "celebrate" those three events?  How could we forget those three events each and every day?  I pray that God will remind me in my time with Him each day what He did for me and as opportunity arises share with others.  

Take time this weekend to praise God for what he has done.

Todd, I look on Good Friday as more of a day of solemn remembrance. A day  to meditate on what a great sacrifice our Lord made for us.I think it is a day to pay Him honor,but I think I save the celebrating for Easter.

I am so glad people celebrate the Lords death and
resurrection once per year in a symbolic holiday....

Many come to faith every year because of this holiday....

Sometimes it is THEE only sermon they hear all year except at Christmas...

God gets to them anyway...hehehehehe

I was surprised to find out it wasn't a bank holiday. I tend to be naive I guess.

My kids get the day off from school which is good.

That is great that he asked. That is great you could answer.

My dad died when I was young. I remember him more vividly than other days on two days, the day he was born and the day he was killed. So, it makes sense that we would do the same with Jesus.

Have a nice Easter!
