What's so "good" about it.

Ever wondered why they call Good Friday "good" when it's the day Jesus was executed? You'd think they'd rather call Easter "Good" Sunday and call today "Black" Friday or something.

I don't know. Never wondered about it myself.

Okay then.

Because all sins were forgiven when he died.

Although i'm sure he didn't love it.

Exactly what GC said. Good Friday was the day Jesus died to take our sins from us so we could get back to God. Without His death, No-one could get to heaven at all. But what's better, is that in three days, He came back to finish what He started...

Or could it mean good because you get the day off school or paid overtime at work? lol. To be honest, I never really thought of it until now.

You learned two things too. Three actually...

All of you have learned at least two things as well.
