On Good Friday, we pause to remember the darkest day in history—yet one that shines with the brightest hope. It’s the day Jesus Christ willingly suffered and died on the cross, taking the weight of our sin upon Himself so that we might be reconciled to God.
The name “Good” Friday may seem paradoxical. What’s good about an innocent man’s brutal execution? What’s good about pain, betrayal, and the silence of a sealed tomb?
The goodness lies in the purpose.
The goodness lies in the love.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8
Jesus wasn’t a victim of circumstance. He chose the cross. He chose us. In His final breath, He declared, “It is finished” (John 19:30), completing the work of salvation and opening the way for eternal life to all who believe.
Good Friday reminds us that healing doesn’t always look like a miracle—it sometimes looks like sacrifice. Hope doesn’t always come with celebration—it often begins in sorrow. And love—true, redeeming, relentless love—often bleeds before it blesses.
As we reflect today, may our hearts be drawn to the cross—not as a symbol of death, but of deliverance. Not as a tragic ending, but the beginning of new life.
At Aslan Health, our mission is to reflect that same sacrificial love by caring for the hurting and serving those in need. But today, we step back and remember the ultimate act of healing—the cross.
Because of Good Friday, Sunday is coming.
