For Christians, this day is part of something bigger. It's a part of Holy Week celebrations of Christians and Jews focusing on the crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus Christ.
How could such a horrific act be a cause for celebration?
Christ's suffering points to a bigger redemptive picture.
Worshippers across the globe use it as a time for mindful reflection.
Spiritual discipline of fasting can aid in this time of reflection, confession of sin and prayer.
Good Friday represents what Christ did in obedience to His Father which resulted in redemption for all who believe through the shed blood of Jesus.
A true outpouring of God's love.
Good Friday communion is done in remembrance of this.
Good Friday.
An emphasis of devotion to God pointing the way to Resurrection Sunday!
AMEN, sista!
