Posted on 01 April 2010 by Peter Young
On Friday 2 April 2010, Christians will be remembering what happened on that first Good Friday – THE HEINOUS CRIME OF CRUCIFYING JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD. Why, then, do we refer to that day as ‘GOOD FRIDAY’? To answer this question, we must ask two further questions: WHO…
