Good Friday Worship Service

Good Friday Service – 7pm • Beachside Baptist Church

During the Good Friday service, we will remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. This marks the day when wrath and mercy met at the cross. As terrible as it was, the suffering and death of Jesus marked the dramatic culmination of God’s plan to save his people from their sins.

The day that seemed to be the greatest triumph of evil was actually the death blow in God’s gloriously good plan to redeem the world from bondage.

The cross is where we see the convergence of great suffering and God’s forgiveness. Psalms 85:10 sings of a day when “righteousness and peace” will “kiss each other.” The cross of Jesus is where that occurred, where God’s demands, His righteousness, coincided with His mercy. We receive divine forgiveness, mercy, and peace because Jesus willingly took our divine punishment, the result of God’s righteousness against sin. “For the joy set before him” (Hebrews 12:2) Jesus endured the cross on Good Friday, knowing it led to His resurrection, our salvation, and the beginning of God’s reign of righteousness and peace.

Good Friday marks the day when wrath and mercy met at the cross. That’s why Good Friday is so dark and so Good.
