When the prodigal son returned to his father, the father said, ‘this my son was lost, but now is found’ (cf. Luke 15:24). Yet, in their distress, ...read more

    What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 436 views

    Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).

    The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more
