什么是 Good Friday？ 人们怎么过 Good Friday？

今天是2010年4月2日，星期五。今年的这个星期五不同于别的星期五，因为它叫Good Friday， 中文叫受难节，也有人叫受苦节。全世界的基督徒在这一天纪念主耶稣受苦，受难，被钉十字架和死在十字架上。
很多基督徒在Good Friday 会绝食祷告，祷告，认罪悔改，思想默想主耶稣在十字架上所经历的痛苦磨难。在这一天很多基督徒不参加娱乐活动。
主耶稣被钉十字架记载在以下圣经中。马太福音27-28；马可福音15：16-16：19； 路加福音23：26-24：35；约翰福音19：16-20：30。

为什么耶稣神的儿子要死，且死在十字架上？请听诗歌因祂活著。 这首诗歌的视频可以在 Youtube 或者我的博客 (shinetoronto.blogspot.com) 上找到。

【因祂活著】
詩集：基督是主第 3 集，54

神差愛子，人稱祂耶穌，祂賜下愛，醫治寬恕，
死裡復活，使我得自由，那空墳墓就是我得救的記號。

因祂活著，我能面對明天，因祂活著，不再懼怕，
我深知道，祂掌管明天，生命充滿了希望，只因祂活著。

Because He Lives

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
