The Holy BIBLE Print Media of Our Creator: Discover What Is Good for Good Friday?

It is not surprising that the day Jesus crucified will call "Good Friday." Does it show strange that Christians call it "Good Friday?" On that Friday, we commemorated that Jesus deprived, spat, beaten, laughed, and nailed to his dead cross. This is a terrible experience, a shocking spectacle. Peoples, who care Jesus say such terrible day in his life?

The four Gospels (records of Jesus' life and ministry), we told of a man named Barabbas who imprisoned with Jesus. Barabbas is not a good person. He arrested for taking part in the murder of the executioner. He has a long criminal record. Barabbas sat on death row with two other convicted people. The three men knew on Friday morning. They will take to a famous mountain on the outskirts of the city and crucified.

The famous Rabbi Jesus arrest and thrown together with these prisoners. Pilate, the official in charge of the case of Jesus, understood from the beginning. The religious leader who had brought him to Jesus wanted him to kill. To avoid crucifying a person who did not find a mistake (Luke 23:21). Pilate appealed to the crowd gathered in the street. He proposed to release one prisoner and give them what they appear to be the truth.

He proposed to release them, Barabbas or Jesus. What much obvious Jesus' goodness is the sin of Barabbas? Jesus is famous; Barabbas is notorious. For Pilate's shock, the crowd chose Barabbas. As if to verify his answer, he asked them what they wanted him to do with Jesus. They shouted: "Cross him! Crucify!" Then he did it.

The Bible doesn't tell us how strong the prisoners awareness the arrangement with Pilate and people on the street. They are close enough to the crowd but will not allow Pilate to talk to the crowd. Think of it. In his cell, Barabbas tried the crowd calling his name. Can't you see him cheering? "What's going on?" he pondered. But the next thing he overheard was that the crowd sang: "Cross him! Crucify him!" I can't prepare for what happened next.

A security guard walks in, decorates him, and takes him outside to tell him: “Leave you here, you are free.” Maybe it was a few minutes later, hours or days later when he heard the rest of the story. But no one understood the goodness of Barabbas' Good Friday., Jesus occupied his place on the cross that day. Barabbas is a symbol of every sinner.

Enter Barabbas's shoes and you can experience the goodness of Good Friday. Those shoes much better than you realize. The good news of Good Friday. Jesus took my position on the cross that day. I am the one who sentences to death for my sins (Romans 3:23, 6:23). The message of the gospel (good news) is: Jesus subjected to whole kinds of temptations, unlike you and me. We overcome these temptations; and with its unique purity, Jesus pays for everything our moral defects. The price (Hebrews 4:15, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:8).

A tragedy that the Son of God was so abused. Tortured by this injustice. Jesus did not suffer and did not die for it. He died for us. And you and I are nothing! If you abuse, he knows, if you suffer from injustice, he knows. He has agreed to our experience. He doesn't consider he is higher than that (Philippians 2:5-8).

Sin is a biblical term, and many people consider uncomfortable today. This means we have not fulfilled God's will. Sin is the fault of our world. If we don't have a crime, this planet will be heaven. Most of us will anger by the sins of others because sinners are worse than our sinners. Jesus called us, honest with ourselves and treat our sinful state with God. His task is not to condemn us but to save us. The popular verses following John 3:16 are those of Jesus. God didn't send his Son into the world to condemn the world. But to save the world through Him (John 3:17). This Jesus did on Good Friday!

At the end of his life, the author of the song "Amazing Grace" John Newton said. Although my memory failed, I remember two things. I am a renowned sinner, and Christ is a great "Savior". God hopes we recognize the two truths. May God let us see and embrace and celebrate Good Friday.
