How the prophets described Jesus and Good Friday 600 years before it happened...
From Isaiah 53...
"He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain, like one from whom people hide their faces. He was despised and we held him in low esteem...surely he took up our pain, and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed...and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all...he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; for he bore the sin of many, and made intersession for the transgressors."
By His wounds we are healed...and so we call this Friday Good.
