+ + + 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

MARCH 31, 2024  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  RESURRECTION SUNDAY  

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”
