Good Friday Tenebrae Service
Channel: Grace Street Church
Date: 08/04/2023

Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday. It is on this day that Jesus was betrayed by Judas, arrested by the Jewish leaders, tried by Pontius Pilot, and finally beaten and crucified by Roman soldiers. D.A. Carson wrote, "It was not nails that held Jesus to that wretched cross; it was his unqualified resolution, out of love for his Father, to do his Father’s will—and it was his love for sinners like me." If Jesus died, then why is it "good?" It is good because Jesus willing traded places for you and for me by conquering sin and death allowing us to never be apart from God again both here and for eternity.
Tonight's Good Friday worship will be a Tenebrae Service. Tenebrae means darkness in Latin. We will be telling the story of Jesus' suffering and death as the sanctuary gets darker and darker as each candle is extiguished. As the last candle is extinquished, a bell will toll 33 times, once for each year of Jesus' life.

Celebrate Jesus' resurrection with us this Easter Sunday. Break Fast at 9 AM followed by Easter Sunday Worship at 10 AM.
