In my place, condemned he stood

Today is GOOD Friday.

As we remember the death of Jesus, we celebrate. It is a good day.

How can death be good?

Jesus' death is good because he is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
Jesus' death is good because it ransoms us from futility (1 Peter 1:18-19).
Jesus' death is good because it shows us God's love, justifies us, saves us from God's wrath and reconciles us to God (Romans 5:6-10).

Jesus' death is good!
