Good Friday

This week, I've been wondering why they call it "Good Friday". It doesn't really seem good that Christ had to suffer such anguish on this day. At first, I thought that this was probably a meaningless question because I am woefully inadequate to stand and question centuries of tradition.

But today, the dj on the Christian station came on after playing Newsboys "I'm Free" and asked the same thing.

His conclusion was that although Christ suffered such anguish and shame, the end result was a very good one, that is, our redemption.

I tend to agree.

While I believe the Easter weekend is a happy time to focus on the resurrection of the Christ, it is also important that we somberly reflect on His sacrifice, too.

Without that, there wouldn't be much "good" to celebrate.
