Why is this Friday good?

"When I am lifted up from the earth,
I will draw everyone to myself."

John 12:32

Christ Jesus,

though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God

something to be grasped.

Rather, he emptied himself,

taking the form of a slave,

coming in human likeness;

and found human in appearance,

he humbled himself,

becoming obedient to death,

even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him

and bestowed on him the name

that is above every name.

Philippians 2:6-9
