Matthew 20:19
And shall deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to
crucify Him; and on the third day He shall rise again.
Two
of the most significant days in Christian history and putting in perspective
the events that occurred on those two days we can pause and thank God for His
love, grace and mercy. Man being God's special creation had become separated
from our creator as a result of sin. God's redemptive plan was to pour out His
wrath on His Son Jesus Christ who became man's propitiator as His precious
blood was shed that dreadful day on Calvary 's
cross.
On
Crucifixion Friday prophecy was fulfilled and as God's Son hang dying on the
cross God's other created elements went out of control, the moon closed its
eyes and refused to watch God's Son dye, the sun turned its face back to God
and said, "I cannot look and watch Your Son dye" and the earth became
dark as midnight. The earth reeled and rocked like a drunk man as if the weight
of its axis was too much to bear because the sins of the world was on the Son
of God's shoulders. The curtain in the temple was rent from top to bottom
signifying that man could now go to God in prayer as our Savior Jesus Christ
had paved the way. When Jesus Christ said "it is finished," He gave
up the ghost and the dying process was complete. Thank God for Sunday (Resurrection)
morning our Savior rose with all power in His hand. Through Christ's death,
burial and resurrection, believers have victory because Christ took away the
stain of death; sin has been forgiven, and rendered Satan powerless. All who
believe in Jesus died with Christ on Friday and rose with Him Sunday morning
and can shout glory hallelujah. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
All
praises to a risen Savior and a forgiving God. Jesus is His name.
