- Mark 15:33–41: “At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”)”
Lesson:
The biblical meaning of Black Friday is related to the Christian holy day of Good Friday, which commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ:
- Good Friday
A Christian holy day that observes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum - Original Black Friday
The original Black Friday was a time of darkness when three souls, including the Messiah, hung on crosses
Jesus’ last meal with his disciples was on Wednesday night, and he was crucified on Thursday, the 14th of the Hebrew month Nisan.
Paul Tripp reflects on Black Friday and Christmas—how both the cross and incarnation of our Savior reveal how horror and beauty collide.
The Black Friday Name Comes from Philadelphia
In the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s, the game brought in hordes of people, most of whom arrived on Friday. This caused a major headache for the police, who had to deal with all kinds of mischief and mayhem. It was such a pain, they began referring to the day as Black Friday.What Does the Bible Say about Black Friday Shopping? Because Black Friday shopping is a relatively new holiday tradition, the Bible never mentions Black Friday specifically. Therefore, the Bible does not say Christians should or should not go Black Friday shopping.Beginning in the 1800s, the term “Black Friday” was used to identify stock market crashes. Before Black Friday was associated with shopping, it was a day marked by Santa Claus parades. Due to Thanksgiving overeating, Black Friday is the busiest day of the year for plumbers.
Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father We ask You to keep their well-being in our hearts and minds.Today, on this so-called Black Friday, we give thanks that there is enough in this world for all of humanity to live and thrive. In the name of Our lord and savior we thank you.
Lord Jesus take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
