Why do we call this day “Good”?

The Bishop’s Good Friday Message

In the darkness of betrayal, suffering, and the cross… what could possibly be called good?

Today, proclaims a powerful message: not of defeat—but of a promise fulfilled.

From the very beginning, God declared that the serpent would strike… but would not win.
Today is “good” because the Son of Man has crushed the serpent’s head.

In this message, we are reminded:
– There was no other good enough
– Christ bore the full weight of sin, shame, and death
– “It is finished” means God’s promise has been kept

And yet—this Good News comes with a question:
Will we keep sitting in the shadows… or will we rise, follow Jesus, and walk free?

Watch, reflect, and enter into the mystery of the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
