GOOD FRIDAY BIBLE VERSES – Find inspiration, comfort, and words to reflect on during this day of the Holy Week.
Good Friday is one of the most solemn days in the Christian calendar. This day commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. At the core, the message it relays reminds the people about sacrifice, love, and redemption.
Even though it remembers a painful story, it’s called “Good” because it is viewed as leading to hope and salvation, which is fulfilled on Easter Sunday with the resurrection of Jesus.
Here are some Bible verses for deep reflection:
