There's more to the Crucifixion . . . . from "His Kindness Year Round"


Happy Resurrection Day!  Oh, what a glorious day!

Ever notice sometimes followers of Jesus, as well as non-believers who celebrate Easter, will refer to Jesus’ death on the cross, and then stop, as if that's the end?  His crucifixion is a huge factor of the season indeed.  Jesus, our Savior, died for the physical and spiritual healing of the world.  Hallelujah!!!

However, let’s not forget what happens next.  Jesus was resurrected!!!  He arose from the grave!!!  We serve a risen Savior!!!  He lives!!!  How do I know?  Because His Word tells me so!!!  He wasn't found in the tomb.  He is not in the tomb now.  His body wasn't stolen.  He arose!

Because of His free will as man, He could have chosen not to be crucified.  But, He did die, and He did arise from the grave, and He is alive!  Shout it!!!

I sometimes am speechless at the awesomeness of this season.  Jesus was born, became a man, ministering on earth healing the body, spirit and soul.  Then died for us.  God gave His only Son, a sinless man, to die for us, sinners, undeserving.  He arose from the grave and gifted us with the Holy Spirit, while now preparing our eternal home.

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow, for great things He has done, and will continue to do!!!

Matthew 28:5-7 “The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified.  He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.  Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ Now I have told you.”

(Don’t you just love when the angel says “He has risen, just as He said.”!!!)

Prayerfully, your sister in Him,

Robin

  1. The Lord is indeed risen. Our Lord is risen. And because He lives, we shall live with Him for all eternity -- and we will be reunited with our loved ones who also believed on Him and who have already gone to be with Him!
