Good Friday, it is a good day indeed. It commemorates mores than the death of our Lord and Savior.
What does that more signify to me than just the day in which our Lord Jesus Christ was put to death and took our sins unto himself?
How about this day being a day of new beginnings? The kickoff of a fresh start.
It means that when we screwed up in our own eyes and in the eyes of other people, it doesn't have to condemn us to being mediocre. It means that we don't have to define ourselves by the disapproval of other people. It means that other people are nobody to hold us down, to be the ones who count where our character, our worth as human beings is concerned. It means that all that is behind us, that Jesus Christ pours his own righteousness upon us who would receive him and that all the filth we had inside no longer exists.
And to top it all off, he rose again from the dead and none of our sins could keep him from rising.
And that is a very good Friday.
