Good Friday

On the way to dinner this evening, Aaron asked me why it's really called Good Friday. After all, "Jesus died on Friday, Dad." I said He did die on Friday, but He rose on Sunday, which makes Friday very good for us. The fact that Jesus went to the cross for our sins and then was resurrected is full of goodness for those who believe. He said, "yea, but why is it just good then? It should be Awesome Friday or like Super Incredible Amazing Awesome Friday, not just good. Good's not good enough for what God did." I kind of thought about that through dinner, and I agree. Good is not a strong enough word for how amazing God's sacrifice was for us. It was great. It was amazing. It was magnificent. It was super incredible amazing awesome.
