Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary , the Christianity website reports today (April 19, 2025).
For Christians, Good Friday is an important day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation.
On Good Friday, we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:1`0), Easter follows it, the glorious celebrartion of the day Jesus was raiseed from the dead, heralding His victory over sin and death and pointing ahead to a future resurrection for all who are united to Him by faith (Romans 6:15).
The name Good Friday is appropriate because the suffering and death of Jesus, as terrible as it was, marked the dramatic culmination of God's plan to save His people from their sins.
Jesus' death on the cross was not the end, but rather the beginning of something new. Through His resurrection, Jesus conquered death and opened the way for eternal life for all who believe in Him.
