Only thing significant and good about Good Friday is the Public Holiday the FG grants Nigerians.

Today is a day everyone needs to reflect on the price Jesus paid for their souls.
He loved us even to his death and His resurrection.
QUESTION IS:
HOW DO YOU PAY HIM FOR HIS SACRIFICE? BY FORNICATION? ADULTERY? PORN.GRA.PHY AND MAST.URBATION? STEALING? DESTROYING DESTINIES? HATRED TOWARDS OTHERS FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS AND SUCCESSES?

WELL, HIS CRUCIFICATION AND BLOOD STILL FLOWS ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY.
ASK FOR FORGIVENESS TODAY AND PROMISE NEVER TO CRUCIFY HIM BY THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS.

THEN YOU SHALL ESCAPE ETERNAL HELL AND HEAVEN SHALL BE YOUR ETERNAL HOPE.

Derz notin lyk good friday. Christ was not killed today if chronology n scripture is studied n understood rightly. Saying he died friday n resurrected sunday rubbishes d truth of him staying in d grave for 3nights n 3 days.

Today is being celebrated the world over as the beginning of Easter. The day when Jesus christ was nailed to the cross, he died and rose up the next day.

The crucifixion of Jesus christ symbolizes his redemption of our sins and this is why Christians celebrate this day all over the world.


In Nigeria, some people avoid eating meat today and this has been the practice since I was young.

What other things do you do to mark this special day?

Have a splendid and wonderful day.


Jesus rose on the third day not next day.. Do have a splendid good Friday

The day between his death and resurrection was sabbath. That is the reason why & according to the Bible, Joseph of arimathea requested for his body. Also, the Saturday is the 7th day of the week (when it was believed that God rested). Till today, it is customary for the jews (Israel et al) to have their sabbath day on Friday.

Growing up as a little child from a catholic background,I remember my Dad used to tell us it was wrong to eat meat or anything that has blood on good Friday. Growing up and looking back at those times,I just shake my head and smile. Now I can't even tell my 5yr old twin boys such a thing;those were years of ignorance as far as I'm concerned. I don't know if some peole still believe such..

Op, Jesus died n resurrected on d third day....not d next day pls.

Good Friday is unlike any other day. Jesus is d only person whose sole purpose of coming to earth is to DIE.....to secure our salvation.
If He didn't die, we can't have life (eternal)
If there's no Cross, there's no Crown
If there's no pain, there's no gain.
If there's no Good Friday, there can't be Easter Sunday.

A day when suffering n death took place yet we call it Good......because it bought us life.
Hope u now see d significance of this day.
My humble submission

The reason why we avoid eating meat is that most people can't eat a meal without meat, the church want us to pay a sacrifice that we affect us and make us remember the pains Our Lord Jesus Christ went through on the CROSS. The church always advice us that anything we love most, we should abstain from it. If you know you can't do without drinking a day, avoid it for the sake of Good friday. Mine i can't eat without fish because i love fish alot but for the sake of Good Friday i neither eat fish nor meat.

Have u ever wondered y even in the face of persecution n trials,the Christian community waxes stronger?
U know Y?
The blood of Jesus sealed our race.We were ransomed..
Now on this day,we ought to gather ourselves together n think of God's love for humanity..Have I really appreciated Christ for His sacrifice?

Jesus was a SPOTLESS,PURE n HOLY VICTIM yet Yahweh was pleased to burden him wid the sin of all..
On this day,the chains of sin n death was broken n man was reconciled back..The basics of Christian theology!!
Re: How Significant Is Good Friday? by Pamcrest(f): 8:08am On Apr 03, 2015
HonourablePomk:
We avoid eating meat(don't know why. somebody please tell me). We observe the crucifixion of Christ in church and be in an unhappy state of mind after resurrection hurray begins.

For us Catholics, it's just another form of abstinence......in our sacrifice during Lent. Most people love eating meat so d Church encourages us to abstain n eat fish instead esp today as we commemorate n partake in d passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Listen to yourself. Read matthew 28. CHrist was killed in d middle od d week(wednesday) stayed in d grave for 3days- thursday, friday, saturday n 3nights- wednesday night, thursday night, friday night. Resurrected at the end of satur-day. D Jews count 12hours or broad day light as day n d oda 12 hours as night. At d end of d 12hour broad light christ resurrected before d d dawn of night. And in d end of d sabbath (wich begins after d twelve hour broad day light) as it began to dwan towards d first day of d week(sunday) mary magdalene n d oda mary came n den found out thru d occurrence dat Christ had resurrected. Joseph of Arimathea came to take his body for burial n it was granted him because its d custom of d jews not to let d dead body of anyone hung on a tree remain so all night. Compare mtt 27, joshua 8, 10 n deuteronomy 21: 23. Itz good we study d scripture wit understanding. N stop limiting ourselves to wat our leaders tell us.
paooxide:

Christ wasn't even killed on cross but a tree. Cross as used in d bible was figurative. Christ used that a lot to mean suffering, self denial

The day between his death and resurrection was sabbath. That is the reason why & according to the Bible, Joseph of arimathea requested for his body. Also, the Saturday is the 7th day of the week (when it was believed that God rested). Till today, it is customary for the jews (Israel et al) to have their sabbath day on Friday.

Keep doing this in remembrance of me.—1 Cor. 11:24.

‘With the clouds gone, we can see the crescent of the moon. That means the start of a new month, Nisan. Certainly, Jesus will want to head for Jerusalem in order to arrive before the Passover.’ We can imagine such thoughts coming to the mind of some who were with Jesus in Perea (across the Jordan) on his final trip to Jerusalem. (Matt. 19:1; 20:17, 29; Mark 10:1, 32, 46) Once the first day of the Jewish month Nisan was determined, the Passover would be held 13 days later, after sunset on Nisan 14. Today is the date of the Lord’s Evening Meal, which corresponds to the date of the Passover.—1 Cor. 11:23-25. w13 12/15 4:1-3
Memorial Bible reading:  (Daytime events: Nisan 13)  Matthew 26:17-19; Luke 22:7-13  (Events after sunset: Nisan 14)  Matthew 26:20-56
