Golgotha (Mark 15:22) | Good Friday 2025 | Pastor Mike Fabarez
The name Golgotha, meaning 'place of the skull,' is not incidental but theologically loaded: it roots Christ's crucifixion in real history, reminds us that death is the wage of humanity's sin from Genesis 3, and shows that the perfect, life-giving Son of God died a substitutionary death there so that our death and condemnation could be conquered.
