Today is Good Friday. Why is it called such a happy name when it is the day Jesus was crucified?

Here is what the Billy Graham website has to say. (Click here to read the full answer)

"Why is it called "Good Friday"? Because by His death, Jesus became the final and complete sacrifice for our sins. We cannot erase our guilt, nor can we overcome our sins by our good deeds. But Christ did what we could never do for ourselves, by dying for us on that first Good Friday."

I am looking forward to the worship service at church this evening. A time to remember the sacrifice made and how this made a way for me and for you to be called children of God. Because of Jesus, I am free!
