There's a song about it!!!! :107years:

 

Why do we call Good Friday good,

(Use fingers to push mouth into smile) Good Friday good, good Friday good?

When it seems so sad?

(Use fingers to pull mouth down into frown)

Isn't dying bad?

Shouldn't we feel sad?

Why do we call Good Friday good.

(Use fingers to push up mouth into smile)

When it seems so sad?

(Use fingers to pull mouth down into frown)

Jesus died. Oh yes, that is true.

(Hold arms to the sides, shoulder height)

Yes, that is true, yes, that is true.

Jesus died. Oh yes, that is true,

But it isn't bad.

(Use fingers to push up mouth into smile)

Even though it's sad

(Use fingers to pull mouth down into frown)

Jesus' death's not bad

Jesus died. Oh yes, that is true.

(Hold arms to the sides, shoulder height)

But it isn't bad.

(Use fingers to push up mouth into smile) By Christ's death we can be set free.

(Sweep arms upward)

Can be set free, can be set free.

By Christ's death we can be set free,

Free from Satan's power.

(Fold arms tightly across chest)

In that sad, dark hour

Jesus broke sin's power

(Thrust arms downward)

By Christ's death we can be set free.

(Sweep arms upward)

Free from Satan's power

 

Do you see why Good Friday's good,

(Use fingers to push up mouth into smile)

Good Friday good, good Friday good?

Do you see why Good Friday's good?

When it seems so sad?

(Use fingers to pull mouth down into frown)

Things that seem so sad

Are not always bad.

When Christ died, He rose from the grave.

We're no longer sad.

(Use fingers to pull mouth into smile)

Jesus ......that's some song.

 

Think it's a derivative of God's Friday in the same way Good - Bye is a derivative of God Be with Ye.

I'm not sure that song even answers the question!!! lol!

 

Apparently in Germany it's called 'Mourning Friday'.

What is it that Jesus actually did ?

What did he do during the day, on his days off etc ?

 

He was a carpenter right ? And he packed it in to become the messiah ?

Was that a mid life crisis gone way bad ?

 

But what did he do day to day ? Did he have an office ? Did he hold surgeries, go to meetings etc ?

 

We know very little about this guy really. I want to know what he did all the time ? When he got up and had his breakfast what did he do for the rest of the day ? Go shopping, spot of lunch in town and then what ?

 

Anyone shed more light (biblically speaking)?

Say What Again

He used to get together with the disciples and they’d discuss the merits of free flowing attacking football over hoofball.

 

Occasionally they'd give Judas a wedgie because he still rated Mikey Stewart.
