Why is Good Friday good? [Sermon]

“If Good Friday is the day Jesus was crucified, shouldn’t it be called Bad Friday, or Sad Friday?”

That’s what a child asked me a few years ago. In this sermon from Good Friday 2020 I explain why Good Friday is good as we gather at the foot of the cross to reflect on Isaiah 53:4-6 and John 3:16.
