What is the "Good" in this day we call Good Friday?
This day serves to remind us of our Lord's death and what is so good about that?

As a Christian, this day not only reminds me of our Lord's selfless act of giving His life in order to save me,
but reminds me that I can't save myself from my sinfulness.
None of us can. We all need Jesus.

Good Friday is the mirror held up by Jesus so that we can see ourselves in all our stark reality, and then it turns us to
that cross and to his eyes and we hear these words, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." That is us!
And so we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves. We see in that cross
a love so amazing so divine that it loves us even when we turn away from it, or spurn it, or crucify it. There is no faith in
Jesus without understanding that on the cross we see into the heart of God and find it filled with mercy for the sinner
whoever he or she may be.
