DECEMBER 10  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#33  

“Eli, Eli lama sabachthani? that is, My God, My God, 

why have You forsaken Me?”  (Matthew 27:46)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer    

JESUS, thank you Lord for the wonderful life You have provided 

for me and my family. Lord these indeed are evil times and our 

world is in a spiritual mess because we have abandoned

 Your Commandments and have no Moral Compass to guide

 us as a society — 

Lord I thank You for the remnant of believers that encourage one another

 and together we keep seeking Your Truth and Your Way. Lord forgive

 me my daily shortcomings and may Your Grace and Mercy abound!!!    

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus has been obedient to the Father and has Given His Life for 

the Remission of sin which is what Jesus Himself stated was His 

purpose for taking on flesh and living among us. Joseph of Arimathea 

takes the dead body of Jesus down from the cross 

for it is the Preparation Day for the Passover and the Crucified Jesus

 has been laid into Joseph’s borrowed tomb. Jesus has stated

 on many occasions that He must suffer at the hands of sinners 

and that God the Father has promised 

to Resurrect the Son on the Third Day. 

The disciples looked sadly on His death like many today do

 and failed to understand that “death” was necessary to fulfill

 the Justice of God! God had declared in the garden of Eden

 that the Penalty for sin is death and then to cover the nakedness

 and shame of Adam and Eve after they partook of the forbidden fruit 

and disobeyed God, God demonstrated Grace

 and initiated the Substitutionary Sacrifice Principal as God 

sacrificed an animal and took the skin of the sacrificed animal

 and used it to cover their guilt.

 Here on Calvary’s Cross, God again in His Mercy and Grace

 has Substituted His Only Begotten Innocent Son 

as the SACRIFICIAL Passover Lamb and  through the 

DEATH and SACRIFICE of His Only Begotten Son JESUS, 

God has provided Deliverance from sin for ALL who believe Jesus

 indeed was the Lamb of God Sacrificed 

TO COVER the sins of the world!!!   

We are ALL SINNERS and fall short of God’s Glory 

and through the Sacrifice of God’s Son the Plan of Salvation

 is COMPLETE and we can receive the  Forgiveness of God 

ONLY BECAUSE OF THE DEATH OF 

JESUS CHRIST HIS SACRIFICED SON!!! 

Just as God put a rainbow in the sky after the Great Judgement 

of the earth after the flood as a Promise that He would never destroy

 the earth again by water, God now after the Great Sacrifice

 of His ONLY Begotten Son is going to give us a 

Promise TROUGH HIS SON that our sins are forgiven

 and as Jesus said in John 5:24 

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he who hears My words

 and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, 

and shall not come into judgment 

but has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24) 

The Sign of the Promise of our Salvation is the Empty Tomb 

in which Jesus has been laid — because the Tomb Is Empty, 

God has kept His Promise to Resurrect Jesus on the Third Day 

and we as Sinners Saved by God’s Grace can celebrate the Empty Grave

 and realize that the One that Defeated Death, Promises us Everlasting Life!

 God has demonstrated His Absolute Power over Death 

and we can rejoice because 

JESUS IS ALIVE!!!   

Man and Satan have done everything in their evil power and have managed

 to crucify the Son of God and now the dead body of Jesus 

has been put in the tomb, they have rolled a great stone over the entrance

 of the tomb where the dead body of Jesus has been laid to prevent Him

 from coming out or from any one else to go in and get Him, 

also they have posted guards at the tomb to prevent anyone rolling 

the stone away and they have placed a seal on the stone — 

man has put Jesus in the grave but man cannot stay the Hand of God

 from doing what God has “Purposed” and that is to

 Raise His Beloved Son on the Third Day 

thereby COMPLETING the Plan of Salvation! 

“When Joseph had taken the body [of Jesus off the cross] 

he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his new tomb

 which he had hewn out of the [solid] rock; 

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

and departed.” (Matthew 27:59-60) 

Everything man could do to put Jesus in the grave has been accomplished

 but instead of “victory for evil”, Satan is about to experience the 

“Ultimate Defeat” as God fulfills His Promise to

 “provide Himself the Lamb” 

and Salvation ——— and the Promise is about to be fulfilled with the 

Resurrection of Christ on the Third Day!!!   

The Bible is full of God’s Promises and the only Promises from God 

that have not been fulfilled are those in the future 

and when it is in God’s Timing, 

GOD WILL KEEP EVERY PROMISE EVER MADE — 

The world has the 

Promised Rainbow 

after the rain and now, 

for BELIEVERS, we have the 

Promised Resurrection 

after death!!!
