Jesus lived the nonviolent, self-giving love of God to its fullest. He never compromised that love, even in the face of punishment and the cross. When he calls out, "It is accomplished," he is announcing the completion of that life. In a way, it is the completion of God's original creation, because Jesus has fulfilled the life that God has intended for all of us, and opened a path of fulfillment for us. This is what makes Holy Friday "good."
