Good Friday

Martin Luther once said, “Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in springtime."

Most of the world recognizes the fact that Good Friday is a religious holiday observed by Christians around the world in memory of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. They also recognize that Good Friday and the following Saturday are days of mourning which call for the reflection of sins. John 3:16-17 states, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." During this period of time, Christians focus on the fact that life is a precious gift and most will use this period of time to reflect upon God’s forgiveness of man’s sins.
