What is Good Friday?
It’s “Good” Friday because the events that led to Jesus dying on that cross were primarily about God – God acting in such love for the world that he allowed his beloved son to die. God’s love in Jesus transformed the cross, an instrument of terror and death, and made it a symbol of life, hope and forgiveness. Jesus, by becoming a willing victim, stands in solidarity with all of those who are persecuted because of who they are. And they in turn are empowered to live a life that will result in their struggle to bring every life into the fullness of justice and freedom, as God intends, so that victim and victimizer can behold each other’s humanity. There is the glory of God in that meaning – in that cross – and it is good. And when our hands, hearts and voices are involved in this work of healing, justice and reconciliation, it is a good and godly work.
