PsalmEquipt
I Corinthians 5:7 "... For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:"
The memorial of “holy communion” was instituted as our primary reminder of Jesus' sacrifice for us. The Apostle Paul taught that Christ's sacrifice was so significant that complete physical and spiritual wholeness was made available to us as a result.
Good Friday on our calendars shares a quality with holy communion, in that it also is a reminder of Christ's sacrifice for us. Good Friday is the Friday prior to Resurrection Sunday and tradition teaches that Jesus Christ died at 3:00 P.M. on that day. While a reminder of Christ's sacrifice on our calendars is advantageous, since it is otherwise based on tradition, Good Friday serves mostly as a conversation point and starter.
For those desiring to gain greater appreciation of Christ's accomplishments, and the actual events that took place leading up to his crucifixion, much Biblical teaching is available. Of particular interest may be the internet Archived study The Day Jesus Christ Died (archive.org/details/studiesinabundan00wier/page/186).
I Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
