Today, we will revisit and revise the #faithbites from April 10<a href=\"http:\/\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/2020\/04\/10\/apr-10-why-is-it-called-good-friday\/\">, 2020<\/a>, which discussed why we call Good Friday, Good. I had this discussion with my youngest as she didn&#8217;t understand how Jesus dying could be good. I hope this helps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things in the English language are hard to understand. One that struck me was that we should <a href=\"http:\/\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/2020\/03\/17\/mar-17-whom-shall-i-fear\/\">fear god<\/a>.  It wasn&#8217;t until just recently that I found out that this fear was adoration, not being scared. It completely changes the meaning of the phrase.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, I never understood why a celebration would be called <strong>Good Friday<\/strong> when it is the crucifixion of someone&#8217;s savior. It was very odd to me that it would be good when the leader and founder of your religion have been killed. It wasn&#8217;t until I was baptized and learned that it is Good because Jesus&#8217;s work on Earth was finished. Another twist of English is that Good used to mean Holy. So Jesus was Holy and was Good. His entire purpose on Earth was to bind us back to God. He had to finish it, meaning be killed, to fulfill the prophecy of the old testament. Though we wouldn&#8217;t think of death as good, it when it happens for our eternal salvation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Scripture<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/111\/jhn.19.28-30\" class=\"verseLink\">John 19:28-30<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; After this, Jesus,\u00a0knowing that all things were now accomplished,\u00a0that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said,\u00a0\u201cI thirst!\u201d\u00a0<sup>\u00a0<\/sup>Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and\u00a0they filled a sponge with sour wine, put\u00a0it\u00a0on hyssop, and put\u00a0it\u00a0to His mouth.\u00a0So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,\u00a0\u201cIt is finished!\u201d\u00a0And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.<\/em><\/li><li><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/111\/psa.26.16-19\" class=\"verseLink\">Psalm 26:16-19<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Dogs\u00a0surround me, \u00a0a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display\u00a0people stare\u00a0and gloat over me.

He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5>Reflection <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I only quoted part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+22&amp;version=NLT\">Psalm 22<\/a>, but you can read the entire chapter to see to what lengths Jesus went through to fulfill this prophecy. This was a very painful, gruesome death. No one would say this is a Good ending. It was an ending that was equivalent to all of our sins.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am more sinner than saint. Truly, I can&#8217;t imagine the pain and suffering that he went through for me, a mere sinner.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have no words to say except that because of <a href=\"http:\/\/roberts-lieb.com\/faithbites\/2020\/04\/09\/apr-9-sacrifice-its-not-about-you\/\">his sacrifice<\/a>, it is Good. Because he died for me, it is Good. For all of these things, we can celebrate that he will return and we are saved.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5>Prayer<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Father God, you sent your only son, our Lord, to die on the cross. You gave us a perfect representation of humanity, only for us to kill him, for him to die for us. We love you and can&#8217;t imagine that level of sacrifice. Thank you. Help us to remember that no matter how dark it gets, that it is Good in Christ, and because of him, we are reconnected with you forever and always.
