Good Friday Quotes
Celebrate the Holy Week for yet another year with these Good Friday quotes.
For Christians and Catholics, the Holy Week is a momentous and pivotal time. Palm Sunday is the first joy of the season as Jesus is welcomed by crowds in Jerusalem laying down palm leaves before him. As we well know, it eventually escalated into a week of sorrow and agony as he was betrayed, tortured, and crucified by Good Friday.
But what’s so good about Good Friday if that was when His son suffered and died on the cross?
It is ironic but what makes Good Friday good is how terrible it was. It let us see how big, how unconditional, and how all-encompassing God’s love is. Find out below what the Bible and great minds in history have to say with these Good Friday quotes.
John
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.
Augustus William Hare
The cross was two pieces of dead wood; and a helpless, unresisting Man was nailed to it; yet it was mightier than the world, and triumphed, and will ever triumph over it.
Robert G. Trache
Good Friday is the mirror held up by Jesus so that we can see ourselves in all our stark reality, and then it turns us to that cross and to his eyes and we hear these words, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." That's us!
Theodore Ledyard Cuyler
Exalt the Cross! God has hung the destiny of the race upon it. Other things we may do in the realm of ethics, and on the lines of philanthropic reforms; but our main duty converges into setting that one glorious beacon of salvation, Calvary's Cross, before the gaze of every immortal soul.
William Penn
So shall we join the disciples of our Lord, keeping faith in Him in spite of the crucifixion, and making ready, by our loyalty to Him in the days of His darkness, for the time when we shall enter into His triumph in No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.
Robert G. Trache
There is no faith in Jesus without understanding that on the cross we see into the heart of God and find it filled with mercy for the sinner whoever he or she may be.
Bill Hybels
God led Jesus to a cross, not a crown, and yet that cross ultimately proved to be the gateway to freedom and forgiveness for every sinner in the world.
T. S. Eliot
The dripping blood our only drink,
The bloody flesh our only food:
In spite of which we like to think
That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood--
Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.
