APRIL 20  THE JESUS QUESTIONS 2026  RESURRECTION SUNDAY


APRIL 5, 2026  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  RESURRECTION SUNDAY

+ + + RESURRECTION SUNDAY + + +  


EASTER IS RESURRECTION SUNDAY — THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS

 IS HISTORICAL FACT AND WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED IN TRUTH,

 EVEN IF WE AREN’T ABLE TO GATHER IN A BUILDING,

 JESUS HAS ALREADY DEFEATED DEATH

 AND THE GRAVE IS EMPTY!


LIVING FOR JESUS  Daily Prayer

JESUS, Lord Jesus, the Only Begotten of the Father, Son of the Living God,

 my Redeemer, Savior, You are CHRIST! 


You Lord are the fulfillment of Prophecy, You lived the Perfect Life, You Suffered 

as the Perfect Sacrifice and Paid the Penalty that I could not pay, You died

 in my place, Your side was pierced as You were hanging Dead on the Cross, 

Your Body was Broken, Your Blood was Shed, You were laid in a grave! 


You Lord, being Loved by the Father was Obedient even unto death 

and the grave 

and on the 

Third Day You AROSE 

and the Greatest Testimony ever given was proclaimed: 


“HE IS ALIVE”!!!  


As a follower of Jesus Christ there can be no greater TRUTH in our life — 


JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION!!! 


Praise God!!!       

AMEN


 


RESURRECTION SUNDAY is THE DAY 

celebrated by the followers of Christ

 because on this “first day of the week” (John 20:1) 

the tomb was found EMPTY


This was of great concern for Pilate who had earlier asked Jesus, 


“What is truth?” (John 18:38),

 

for after he heard the news of the death of Jesus, Pilate


“commanded that the crucified body [of Jesus] to be given to 

[Joseph of Arimathea]”. (John 19:38)  


When Joseph of Arimathea had 


“taken the [dead] body [of Jesus down from the cross], he wrapped it in a 

clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out 

of the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, 

and departed.” 

(Matthew 27:57-60)


To insure the stone stayed in place and the body of Jesus stayed in the tomb, 

the chief priest and Pharisees that  were responsible for having Jesus crucified

 went to Pilate and said that Jesus had said, 


“After three days I will rise” 


and they requested from Pilate


that the tomb be made secure until the third day…” and “Pilate said 

to them, ‘You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you 

know how.’ So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone 

and setting the guard.” (Matthew 27:62-66)


We celebrate the Empty Tomb because the seal was broken, the stone 

was rolled away, the guards were gone — we celebrate the 


DEATH, BURIAL, and the EMPTY TOMB of JESUS 

because they are the realization that it is the

 RESURRECTION OF JESUS


the Son of the Living God 


that demonstrates the Divine Power of God to give life 

and that death and the grave were defeated by the


 Divine Power of the Living God “[who] loved the world so much

 that He GAVE His only begotten Son [as the Sacrificial Lamb

 to pay for the penalty of sin] that whosoever believes in [Jesus] 

shall not perish but have everlasting life!” 

(John 3:16) 


We celebrate the EMPTY TOMB on RESURRECTION SUNDAY because it is on

 this DAY that JESUS WAS RESURRECTED and reminds the world that 

GOD HAS POWER over life and death

 and He promised Eternal Life to those that

 BELIEVE GOD RESURRECTED 

His Only Begotten Son Jesus from death and the grave! 


Nowhere in the scriptures do we read any contradiction to this great 


TRUTH OF GOD 


that has been celebrated on the first Sunday after the paschal moon that occurs

 on or after the vernal equinox, the date may vary from March 22 to April 25 

but the occasion never changes, 


HE IS RISEN!!!! 


>>>2020 NOTE: THE CORONA VIRUS HAD NO POWER OVER ETERNITY — 

HE THAT CONTROLS ETERNITY SAID - 


“YOUR FAITH 

HAS MADE YOU WELL”

APRIL 19 THE JESUS QUESTIONS (Day 6) Summary Review of JESUS Questions JQ#01-01—JQ#13-07 (Matthew 5:1 thru Matthew 12:34)

 


APRIL 19  THE JESUS QUESTIONS 

(Day 6) Summary Review of JESUS Questions 

JQ#01-01—JQ#13-07 (Matthew 5:1 thru Matthew 12:34) 


LIVING FOR JESUS  Daily Prayer    

JESUS, as always, this time that I spend directly with You in the form of prayer

 is the most important part of my day. Lord Jesus, it is not always easy to look

 at the necessity to daily “pick up our cross and follow you” without a little 

worldly apprehension on our part but then it is Your Peace that makes me 

realize there is no other Name that we can call on for “Peace” — and it is

 Your Cross and us carrying our cross that brings  

Your Peace into our daily life!  


Lord Jesus, only You have the Words of Eternal Life 

and we can say when we

 feel our cross is getting a little to heavy for us to bear — 

Lord Jesus I know 

I can do this if You will just help me — 

for You Lord carried Your Cross to the point of success 

that You could declare with Your dying breath, “It is finished”! 


O Lord Jesus, give me the strength to endure to the end of these earthly trials

 to where I to can finish my race with confidence in the Only Begotten of the Father

 and proclaim as I enter into Your Rest — “It is finished” and I can hear You say

 “Well done thy good and faithful servant!”.       

AMEN



THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus so far in this Summary Review of His first 13 JESUS Questions has Taught

 us in JQ#01 to consider our own personal responsibility to the Kingdom of God

 then with JQ#02 Jesus Taught us that we need God’s GPS for our journey

 to Him because whenever we stray off the path we just need to remember that the

 “Love of God” 

will never steer us wrong and 

will keep us on the “Straight-and-Narrow” path to the “Kingdom of God”


JQ#03 opened our eyes to God’s great Provisions for us and because He cares so

 much for us that we should “Trust God” in “all things” and we 

should not “worry” about any earthly things because the Heavenly Father 

has promised that He will take care of us because 

He has chosen to “Love” us!


Lesson 4  JQ#4   “What gives you the right to judge?”       Matthew 7:1-6 


To keep things personal Jesus then Teaches us that just as we “Trust God” 

for our “physical” needs that we should also realize that God wants to take care

 of our “Spiritual” needs as well. 


In this review so far we have found that Jesus not only makes it personal with 

JQ#04 “What gives you the right to judge?” 

He also makes it serious as He warns us that our own worst enemy is ourselves

 as He emphatically uses the term “Hypocrite!” (Matthew 7:5)

The fact that this is a personal issue is established when Jesus first states the problem:


 “JUDGE not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1)


 and then Jesus makes us aware that if we take on the personal responsibility to

 “judge others” then we will be held personally responsible for having

 “judged ourselves” in a like manner! Jesus declares the “Consequence”

 of us choosing to be the “judge” when He states:

 “For with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; 

and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

 (Matthew 7:2) 


When you think about the fact that God just told you that He was going to provide

 for you if you will “Trust Him” (in JQ#03) then why should we try to take 

God’s Job as “Judge of the Universe” away from Him? 


Indeed, why should we take all that responsibility of “judging others” on ourselves

 in JQ#04 — especially just after giving all our “worries” to Him in JQ#03?

 Jesus keeps us focused on the fact that if we are going to “Trust God” 

with “some things” that we should “Trust God in All things” 

for we are the created and He is the Creator; therefore, we should 

let Him “judge” others for He “knows-all-things” and can see everything

 from a Divine Perspective while we are sinners and at best our “judgement”

 will always have a degree of personal bias to it — so Jesus says the best way

 to prevent us “sinning” against God is to “not judge” others for

 we will be a “hypocrite” if we say we “Trust God” 

but do not let Him do His job


Jesus Teaches us with JQ#04 that we do not have the “right to judge others” because


 the “right to judge” belongs to God and God Alone


After all, why should we “Trust” 

a God that needs our help in deciding what is “Right or Wrong”?  


Once we start down the path of assuming for ourselves the responsibility designated

 to the Divine Creator then we will quickly find that we are unable to navigate

 through the “Infinite” with our severely limited “finite” intellect! 


Don’t you think the safest path is to

 

follow the route Jesus has already traveled 

and has Successfully reached His Divine Destination 

by following the True Way designated by God the Father?
