Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”?

What the Jewish authorities and Romans did to Jesus was definitely not good (see Matthew chapters 26-27).

On Good Friday , Jesus Christ was crucified at the place of skull or Calvary after being flogged and nailed by wrists and feet on to a cross.

However, the results of Christ’s death are very good! 

Romans 5:8,

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 

First Peter 3:18 tells us,

“For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit.”
