Happy Good Friday

Happy Good Friday

Many friends with their good intention will greet you “Happy Good Friday”. ONLY CHIRISTIANS KNOW WHAT THE MEANING OF GOOD FRIDAY IS. The faith of Catholic is, Jesus the Savior has died on that day. Church continues to cherish the beautiful sacrifice of God on the Cross at Calvary.  The question is how the Savior dies on the cross helplessly? This is the questions many people are carrying. How is   it that God the savior suffers and dies? If the God himself is helpless on the cross what guaranty do you have on his saving action? 

We do not have a ready made answer for these questions. Catholic belief that religion is a pilgrim in which faith is shared through religious (tradition of the church) experiences in which Jesus Christ who has   two   nature, (divine and human) who is the second person in the Trinitarian God, came down to earth though manifestation to teach, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through the Son” (Jn: 14:6). ‘Trinitarian God’, what do you mean by this question? There is one God. It means divinity is one, however the relation of God is seen through three ways which are personified to make clear in human images, as the creator (God the Father), Jesus the Savior (God the Son) and the sanctifier (God the spirit). The son (Jn: 1:1) is originated from the father (father is origin) Holy Spirit is breath from the father (father is breath). Catholic personified one divinity (God) according to three ways of relation to the world and to human beings.

Jesus did not use or boast about divine power however Jesus healed and made cripple walked. The divine power is not used to threaten people or horrified sinner but to express love of God, kingdom of God in and through Jesus ministry in and around Jerusalem. Divine power of Jesus is used good of all humanity, in all through the four Gospels. There are   two incidents Jesus is manifesting miracles for not so healthy you may say, they are one is in Mathew 21: 19 cursing fig tree, other one paying tax, Mathew 17: 27.

Jesus as human being had accepted the suffering, death and gloriously resurrected on third day. Catholic holds on a doctrine that Jesus died with out committing sin. God of Christianity is not dead but very much alive in and through the work of human hand in the church of people.

Other may have arguments, debate different logics on the approach of Christian faith however many find meaning in Christian way of living life.
