Gospel Friday Countdown - Easter

Today is the Good Friday.

The day when we conmemorate Jesus's death.

The day to remember His suffering.

The day to honor the prize He paid for our freedom.

The day to thank Him for His sacrifice.

In Finnish it is called "Long Friday" because of the idea that even the time stands still witnessing Christ's suffering and death.

In Spanish today is "Saint Friday" because it has been santified by His sacrifice for us.

We were given the life and the joy.

And we threw it all away.

But because of God's love we are alive again.

We have been filled with His joy.

The Christ is dead, and He has risen, He lives again!

May your eternal longing be satisfied on this Easter day!
