jmoore: It is about the sacrifice. Jesus sacrificed himself for the sins of the whole world. He was the perfect sacrifice.
Jesus is God who came down in human form to lay down his life for the redemption of mankind. May all glory and honour be unto him, Amen.

CORRECT. AND AT THE SAME TIME,IT IS PUTTING THE OLD MAN AND HIS CANAL,WORLDLY,SINFUL NATURE TO DEATH,THAT IS BEING DEAD TO SIN, AND BEING ALIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS,A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST.

Havilah93: Why Good Friday is observed.

Good Friday is observed during the Holy Week on the Friday preceding the Easter Sunday. For Christians, unlike Christmas, Good Friday is a day of mourning.
According to the Canonical gospel, Jesus Christ was crucified on this Friday after much torment and sufferings which eventually lead to his death. So, they lament on the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ which they believe is of great essence as it brought salvation to the
human race.
This year, Good Friday 2013 will be observed on Friday, March 29.
People will gather at the
churches and attend mass, sing Good Friday songs, read passages from the holy Bible to
mark the significance of Good Friday. Every year on this day, devotees in black clothes assemble at the church and take out processions of Jesus’ idol. A ritual burial is also carried out.
Statues and pictures of Jesus at churches are covered in black clothes to mourn the day. At the mass prayers, priest read
Good Friday sermons from the Bible and remember Jesus. Many
people at the end of the day or procession spend sometime to meditate and chant prayers silently. Moreover, many devotional followers of Christ abstain from having meat or wine, and if possible keep a fast.
Churches also encourage people to become actively involved in philanthropic activities for the well being of the society.
Celebration of Good Friday is observed across the world including India where a majority of Christian population resides.

Sorry to burst your bubbles,Jesus did not die on Friday.How can you count 3 days and 3 nights between Friday and Sunday.use your brain for once and study the bible for yourselves.If as the bible declares, the grave was empty by Sunday morning,that means he was only dead and buried for two nights and two days.He died on Passover day,the next day after passover according to the bible was the 1st day of unleavened bread.And the first day of unleavened bread is a sabbath no matter which day it occurs.If the 1st day of unleavened bread falls on a Monday,that Monday becomes a sabbath,if it falls on a Thursday,that day becomes a sabbath.The sabbath that was mentioned in the bible was not the normal Saturday sabbath rather it was a high sabbath(1st day of unleavened bread).The bible said on the first day of the week while it was still dark(early in the morning),the women saw an empty grave,so Jesus was already resurrected by the time the women came.He died on Wednesday(Passover day) and was buried just before evening of Wednesday.And 3 days and 3 nights after will be Saturday evening.So he arose on Saturday evening not Sunday morning.

Truth be told, Jesus wasn't crucified nor killed; it only appears to be. It's a misery of perception. In other words mirage can only be imaginary not real. Who moved the stone? Surely, not Mary Magdalene.
In reality ,we are not to assume the death of him whose life and times can only end after his descent in the second coming. Peace.

why calling it Good friday, it suppose to be Black Friday since it was the day someone lay down his life for u.

Stop deceiving urself, jesus is not God and can neva share d same attributes with his creator. in the book of mathew jeaus said by my power there is nothing i can do except d one that sent and also said no one is good except the one that sent me

regarding the laws, mtt 5 v17 do not think i have xome to abolished the law but to fulfilled it.

unless the word in d bible are contradictory

I think the OP is a wolf in sheep's clothes.
What does he mean by Jesus' idol?
Watch ur language and stop trying to paint Catholic beliefs in a bad light.

Let the blessings of Easter be upon the whole world.

600 years after the life of Jesus a desert warrior Muhammad claims Jesus never died nor was crucified.Why would the followers claim he was crucified publicly when the society knew he was not crucified.Paul in his testimony to King Herod Agrippa said these things(the life and crucifixion of Jesus) were not done in a corner or secret place.Peter on the day of Pentecost preached and accused the Jews of killing Jesus.How could Paul and Peter be claiming what the listeners knew was false.You might argue the resurrection but it is historically ridiculous to deny that he was killed by crucifixion.Muhammad has deceived you.Read the resurrection story,an angel rolled the stone away.The bible never claimed Mary Magdalene rolled the stone away.How did the apostles know that an angel rolled the stone away?
The firsthand witness was the resurrected person himself.He told them how he got out of the grave for sure.After his resurrection,he spent 40 days with them and assuredly he must have given them inside details of his resurrection.

Are u a Christian or a Muslim? The Bible never said after 3days and 3nights. It says after 3days the Son of Man shall rise again.

I should be the one asking you that question
have you ever heard of the sign of Jonas?
Matthew 12:38-40
"38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Jesus himself said he will be buried 3 days and 3 nights just like Jonah.
So you see now that am a christian right?
