In this Good Friday message from St John’s Wishart, we explore Matthew 26–27 and discover that Jesus’ crucifixion was no tragic accident, but the centre of God’s plan. His death brings forgiveness for the guilty and opens the way to a restored relationship with God. From betrayal to the cross, Jesus willingly takes our place so we can walk free. This talk unpacks why Christians call this dark day “Good Friday” and how Jesus’ sacrifice offers eternal hope to all who trust in Him. Friday may be heavy—but Sunday is coming.
