How did the gruesome spectacle of a public execution on a Roman cross come to be known as “Good Friday”? What is so good about this? Some linguists argue that an antiquated form of “good” actually meant holy. But the name “Good Friday,” as we understand “good” today, seems counterintuitive to what happened on that day. I think, however, as we reflect on that event, we’ll come to see that it was, indeed, good. I’d like to explain by way of an analogy.
