THE LAST SEVEN WORDS


“Prepare Your Heart for Holy Week and Good Friday”

So why is it called as Good Friday?
Good Friday is the day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and it’s celebrated before Easter Sunday. The most essential symbolization of Good Friday is the crucifix, or cross, which personify the way Jesus died.
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His resurrection are the two most important events in human history. Why is this so? Because of Jesus’ death, the human race has the opportunity for eternal salvation.
The Saviour of the world had emerged from three hours of darkness, during which he was separated from God the Father. Why did the Father turned away from Him? It is against the character of God to face sin, so God withdrew himself from communication with His Son while Jesus bore the guilt of the world’s sin.
