It’s Good Friday: 

Many churches today had a Good Friday service, one of which was at Applegate Christian Fellowship:  

Listen or View  Pastor Courson’s study “Calvary! Luke 23:33 Good Friday 2009 04-10-09 (T447)”:

“And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left…” Luke 23 verse 33

The April Newsletter of the Emmanuel Baptist Churh of Athens Alabama, “Notes from the Pastor - ”Pitied or Purified” looked toward Sunday … Resurrection Day:

…”As we consider the importance and impact of Easter this year, let us be reminded of the eternal focus we must have. We do not find the reason to live or hope for the future in the life and death of Christ. It is the resurrection of Christ that gives us life and hope. Christ did not die not a martyr’s death, but a sacrificial death. “For God so loved the world that He gave” His life for our lives. He shed his blood for our blood. Just as the Passover lamb’s blood provided physical deliverance for the Israelite slaves in Egypt, Christ’s blood provides spiritual deliverance for all who are slaves to sin. Let us be reminded this Easter season that the significance of our faith rests not primarily in what Christ can do for us in this life, but what He has promised in eternity. This truth will provide us hope and purpose for living today, and assurance for tomorrow as we anticipate clothing ourselves with His immortality.

Johnny Hart the creator of the B. C. comic strip offers some biblical truth in his writing. The following is one of his Easter poems he wrote:

‘Now, who can call “Good Friday” good? – A term too oft misunderstood – You, who were bought by the blood of His cross
You can call “Good Friday” good.

Can you call “Good Friday” good because you know the purpose of His death and the promise of His resurrection? … Dan Hughes”

1 Corinthians 15:19, 51-53:

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption … Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality”
