Good Friday wasn’t good for the disciples and followers of Jesus. It was a date they would remember. We all have a special day we remember, whether for good or bad reasons. Mine is 17th April when my father had a serious car accident which changed my life for ever. The disciples would possibly have named this day, Black Friday., but then by the Sunday it would have reverted to Good Friday. Without their Black Friday there could have been no Easter Sunday.
Whenever we read the Bible we are reading it in hindsight. Adam and Eve wouldn’t have known how their time in the Garden of Eden would finish. We do. Moses would never have known that he wouldn’t have reached the Promised Land. We do. Similarly the disciples of Jesus would have known nothing of Easter Sunday or Pentecost or the coming of the Holy Spirit. All thanks for the Bible that tells us all these things.
