    Without getting into a debate of should it be Good Wed. Good Thu. Or Good Fri. (Lets assume Friday for this discussion)

    Do we over prioritize ressurrection day and under prioritize crucifixion day?
    Satan was defeated at the moment of Jesus physical death. The veil was rent. Satan was defeated. Satan's only chance for victory was to tempt the humanity of Christ to sin. His ladt chance for victory was to tempt the Human Jesus to come down from the cross. When Jesus physically died, Satan was defeated. His last and greatest effort to tempt Christ had failed. At that point, the resurrection was a done deal. It was in the hands of The Father.

    Why do we celebrate the resurrection and not the crucifixion?

    Most people see it as death - and thus a time of sadness

    I think Christians should realize it was the moment of great victory.

    From the beginning Christians commemorated Jesus' death in the Lord's Supper, proclaiming his death. And this was not once a year but regularly, some believe weekly, and not on Friday but on Sunday.

    No such thing as over prioritizing resurrection day

    We are saved by His life.

    The wages of sin is death. If we are in Christ, and He is dead, then our debt has been paid (reconciled to God), but we are still dead.

    The resurrection is the grace of God bringing us through death in Christ. He is the first-fruits of the resurrection of the body, which is the destiny of all who are in Christ ("heaven" is a dis-embodied temporary situation).

    For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation. - Romans 5:6-11

    Yes there is? In a normal year, do you have a good Friday service? If you do, how is attendance compared to Easter sunday?

    In the past, my church has held a Maundy ("new commandment") Thursday service, where we remembered and meditate upon the events of the Last Supper, the new commandment (John 13:34) to "love one another, just as I have loved you...", and then end with a hymn, like Jesus and the 11 disciples did.

    We have always and continue to hold a Good Friday service, remembering the trial and death of Christ, often meditating on His words on the cross and the events surrounding His death. We leave in silence. (In the years since we have discontinued the Maundy Thursday service, we have communion in reference to His body being broken and His blood being poured out on our behalf.)

    We always celebrate Easter Sunday, where we recognized that everything Jesus said is true and that we get to share in the life of Jesus for all eternity.

    B can
    Salvation was bought on the Cross.
    The New Covenant was ushered in on The Cross.
    Satans last chance for victory was crushed on The Cross.

    Exactly what happened Sunday?

    If He be not risen, our faith is vain and futile!

    His rising was a done deal at the moment "it is finished."

    It, the payment for our sins were comleted, before He said it, ". . . Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, . . ." -- John 19:28.
