Abolish Abortion Australia invites you to consider the true “goodness” of Good Friday.
Why do Christians call the darkest day in human history “Good” Friday?
On this day, the most heinous evil took place: the only perfect, holy, and innocent Man — Jesus of Nazareth, the King of kings and Lord of lords — was brutally crucified.
The cross was not good.
It was evil. It was sinful. It was wicked.
So why “Good” Friday?
Because on that day, all of God’s righteous wrath and holy anger against our sin was poured out — not on us, but on His beloved Son.
At the cross of Calvary, God’s perfect justice and boundless mercy collided.
This is very good news for all who will repent and believe.
In Christ alone you will find a perfect Saviour.
Your sins will be forgiven.
You will receive a new heart.
God will give you His Holy Spirit.
You will walk in newness of life and become a new creation.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
Today, Christians around the world celebrate this good news: Christ has fulfilled the law and become the ransom for many. On Sunday, we will rejoice in His resurrection and the defeat of death for all who are found in Him.
If you are not yet in Christ, let today be the day of your salvation.
Get on your knees. Cry out to Him for forgiveness.
Repent and turn from your sins.
Rise as a new person in Christ — and go and sin no more.
Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him;
he has put him to grief;
when his soul makes an offering for guilt,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.
