Good Friday Explained: Why the Cross Is Truly “Good” | Alex McFarland

About this sermon

Why do Christians call it Good Friday? On the day Jesus Christ was crucified, the Son of God bore the full weight of humanity’s sin so that we could be forgiven, redeemed, and restored to God. In this powerful special edition of the "Alex McFarland Show," Alex explains why the darkest day in history is also the most hope-filled. Drawing from Matthew 27 and the historic understanding of the Church, Alex explores: How Christ’s infinite righteousness paid for humanity’s finite sin What the cross reveals about God’s love, justice, and grace Why Good Friday leads to Resurrection Sunday—and eternal hope The cross was not a failure. It was God’s plan of salvation fulfilled. On that Friday, God declared His love for you in the most profound way possible. “Friday is good… because God said, ‘I love you so much that I will give My life so that you might be saved.’” Take a few minutes this Good Friday to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the forgiveness available through faith, and the promise of His return. 📖 Scripture Reference Matthew 27:32–35 ▶️ Watch.
