#BibleStudy Expressions of Faith: Good? Friday

Good? Friday

On several levels, Good Friday, as a name for the day Jesus was crucified, sounds wrong. Hence the title Good?Friday for his blog post.

Jewish scholars of the First Century should have known who Jesus was when He came.

Somehow, the finest Hebrew minds misinterpreted the following:

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53:1-6, 12b

This is the central Old Testament passage on Christ's suffering on the cross as the sacrifice for our sin.

Be sure you don't misinterpret this passage.

Accept Jesus as your Savior, today. 

Without question, it will be Good Friday for you!

And, remember,

It's Friday, but Sunday's coming!
