Happy Good Friday, everyone!

Yeah, it technically isn't a "real" holiday, but it's an important day for us Christians to remember the pain and suffering that Christ went through when He died for us. Hopefully we'll all get some time today to reflect on that in His Word and to thank Him for what He did for us.

"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. " Isaiah 53:5-6.

My dad gets a day off work today.. unfortunately I don't! lol

My homeroom teachers told us to have a good friday. So now I'm going to tell everyone I meet to have a good good friday!

I get to go home this afternoon, so I am happy about today despite having classes.

I've always gotten Good Friday off. I think my dad might take us to the zoo today... fun stuff...

Anyway, you are right. Its important for us to remember the suffering as well as the fact that he rose again. ^_^

Yeah, getting school off is always a plus, but it is important to reflect upon the true meaning of Easter, and not the commercialized pinky fluffy Easter bunnies and chocolate eggs everywhere!

True. I dont much like the commercialized easter, but those robbins eggs are just so good.......darn, satan sure has his ways to get to all of us......

Yeah, it's a holy day.
An excellent time to quietly reflect upon the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins.

....and good friday means no meat what so ever.

so were having fish and chip tonight ( good stuff! )

I have to go to work later but I certainly want to wish everyone here a Good Friday. Keep the peace, love and God in mind.

Yes. we should remember the true meaning of Good Friday and Easter.

Interesting thing to remember...

As Jesus was hanging on the cross on the hill of calvary one could look towards the temple mount and see smoke rising from the temple on that day. It was the lambs being sacrificed for the observance of passover. As those lambs were being sacrificed continuously for the sins of man, the true lamb of God was being sacrificed upon the cross, once and for all, for the sins of mankind.
