Good Friday is good because Christ showed His great love for man, and paid the penalty of the sin of man, so that man may be reconciled with His Creator God.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬

“No greater Love,” that is what is manifested to us in the death of Christ, the “no greater Love” that belongs to God, and which is made a gift to us in Jesus Christ who, as God the Son (The Triune God – ONE GOD in “3 Persons”) not only lowers Himself to become a man, but even chooses to lay down His life for us.

This is the greatest gift of God, the gift of His Eternal Love. It is this Life and Love which became incarnate in human flesh, and which reaches it’s most perfect and astounding manifestation in the act in which Christ as both Fully God and Fully man, laid down His human life for us; as for his friends, so we might share His Life and Love for all Eternity.

Good Friday is about a divine exchange: We give Christ our sins, and He gives us His fullness. We become righteous in God’s eyes as we are forgiven for all that we have done wrong.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:21‬ ‭

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭
