Summary

Our culture questions the very idea of truth. The fact that anyone would claim to know something, particularly as it relates to eternity, can sound arrogant. Yet in John 14:6 Jesus claims to be the “the way, and the truth and the life.” But what if we are accountable to God? And what if Jesus is who He says He is? If He actually died on the cross and rose from the dead, then His claim to be the way to God is not arrogant but the best news in the world. In this Good Friday message, David Platt urges us to consider and respond to the claims of Jesus Christ.

0:00.0	Today on Good Friday we're bringing to you a special 20 minute message from David
0:05.7	Platt called Why is Good Friday Good. Currently our culture questions the very idea of truth. The fact that anyone would claim to know something,
0:16.5	especially as it relates to eternity, can sound arrogant. Yet in John 14.6, Jesus claims to be the way and the truth and the life.
0:27.0	If he actually died on the cross and rose from the dead, then his claim to be the very way to God is not arrogant but it's the best

1:07.6	But on this Good Friday, I want to invite you to think with me for a few minutes about what makes Good Friday good.
1:18.6	So today Good Friday marks the day when people around the world remember Jesus' death on a cross.
1:26.0	Which leads to the question, like, what's so good about this day?
1:31.0	Why is the death of Jesus so significant in history and in a sense more important
1:39.3	like why would his death be significant for your life today or my life?
1:46.8	Like that's an important question.
1:48.6	In order to answer it, I want you to think with me about something Jesus said just days before he died. So soon before Jesus
1:56.5	would be betrayed and arrested and crucified on a cross, he said these words in
2:02.4	John Chapter 14,
2:03.6	verse 6 in the Bible, he said, I am the way and the truth and the life.
2:10.2	No one comes to the father except through me.
