Good Friday
It’s Friday. The earth trembles. The sky grows dark. My king yields his spirit. But it’s only Friday. And Sunday is coming. (S. M. Lockridge, late Baptist pastor.)
Christians around the world are commemorating the day when Jesus died on Calvary’s cross. 19th century clergyman Phillips Brooks explains its significance, “We may say that on the first Good Friday afternoon was completed that great act by which light conquered darkness and goodness conquered sin. That is the wonder of our Savior’s crucifixion.”
God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
