JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of
Central United Methodist Church. On this day during holy
week, we pause and remember the crucifixion of our Lord.
This day is called “Good Friday,” which seems like such an
odd term as we remember the death of our Lord. However,
the etymology of the term "good" in the context of Good
Friday is contested. Some sources claim it is from the
senses pious, holy of the word "good" while others contend
that it is a corruption of "God” Friday.
As Christians, we should all agree that it is good that God
remembered us and was willing to die for our sins and open
the way to eternal life for all of us.
I hope that we pause on this day and remember the love of
God that manifested itself on the cross. The cross shall
always be a reminder to us of how far God was willing to go
to save sinners from their sins.
