"The Power of the Cross: Reflecting on Good Friday 2025".......by Dr. Jaswant Singh Puri
Good Friday 2025, observed on April 18, stands as a solemn reminder of sacrifice, love, and redemption in the Christian faith. Marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it is a day that invites millions around the world to pause and reflect on the depth of divine compassion. Unlike festive holidays, Good Friday is commemorated with humility and reverence.
Churches hold somber services, often marked by quiet prayers, scripture readings, and the symbolic covering of crosses. Many Christians fast or engage in acts of service, echoing Christ’s selfless love.
This year, as global challenges continue to test our compassion and unity, Good Friday offers a moment to reconnect with what truly matters—faith, hope, and grace. It’s not just a historical remembrance, but a living call to forgiveness, empathy, and moral courage.
Whether observed in solitude or in community, Good Friday reminds us that from suffering can come redemption, and from loss, new beginnings. As we go through this special day, let’s remember its meaning—find peace in ourselves and show kindness to others.
In a world often rushing forward, Good Friday 2025 urges us to pause, remember, and renew.
