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

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer    

JESUS, another day awakening to Your Grace is as dynamic as

 the bright sunshine pouring into our lives! Lord Jesus I thank you

 for this unmerited Favor You so Graciously bestow on sinners

 whom Your Holy Spirit has led to repentance — all that is required

 of us is that we believe that You ARE the Lamb of God, 

slain before the foundation of the earth because of 

the Father’s and the Son’s and the Holy Spirit’s  

Great Love for the world. 

Let us  lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving for the 

Plan of Salvation and the Great Sacrifice of the Father

 and the Son for the Remission and Forgiveness of sin!    

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus has but One thing left to accomplish and the Plan of Salvation 

that was conceived before the

 “foundation of the earth” (Revelation 13:8)  will be COMPLETE — 

The world and the evil intent of men have crucified the Son of God, 

they have made the Messiah, God’s Chosen One, Suffer 

as no man has ever had to endure, Jesus was then nailed to a cross

 and crucified and when He yielded His Spirit unto the Father, 

His side was pierced with a spear to make sure He was dead! 

The badly mutilated dead body of Jesus was then put into 

a borrowed tomb and left with the intent to return on the first day

 of the week after the Passover to finish the burial preparation

 which had to be suspended because of the Sabbath. 

“On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, 

the chief priest and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, 

saying, “Sir we remember while He was still alive,

 how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise.’ 

Therefore command that the tomb be made secure 

until the third day…” Pilate agreed and said,

 “‘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)  

So a large stone was rolled over the entrance, a seal was placed 

on the stone under the penalty of death from the Roman Authorities

 by the Roman soldiers that were placed at the tomb so that the 

dead body would not be stolen by the disciples of Jesus! 

All the actions of everyone recorded were all done because the crucifixion

 was successful and Jesus was “left for dead”.  

But God Kept His Promise as prophetically recorded by David in Psalm 16:10 

“You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.” (Psalm 16:10). 

 And then Isaiah recorded another Promise God 

had made to Abraham about his offspring being a 

“blessing to all the families of the earth” (Genesis 12:3)  

which was being fulfilled by the Resurrection of Jesus  

for Isaiah wrote this Promise of God about Jesus, 

“I have set You as a Light to the Gentiles, 

that You should be for Salvation 

to the ends of the earth.” (Isaiah 49:6) 

Here is how it was recorded by Matthew:

 “Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week 

began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came 

to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; 

for an angel of the LORD descended from heaven, 

and came and rolled back the stone from the door…

the angel…said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, 

for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 

He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.’” 

(Matthew 28:1-6) 

The angel instructed the women to 

“go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead…

and as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them,

 saying, ‘Rejoice!’ So they came and held Him 

by the feet and worshiped Him.” (Matthew 28:8-9) 

All the Promises of God regarding the Plan of Salvation 

through the Death-Burial-and Resurrection of His Only Begotten Son 

as recorded by the prophets of God in the 

Holy Scriptures IS NOW COMPLETE!!!  

 THE WORLD NOW HAS A RISEN SAVIOR 

who if we seek Him, HE will appear to us and tell us

 “DO NOT BE AFRAID, REJOICE!”. 

This account of The Life of Jesus, His Purpose and the Fulfilling

 of God’s Promises along with the Death/Burial/Resurrection of Jesus 

 IS the GOSPEL, 

THE GOOD NEWS

 and we are to “go quickly and tell”!!! 

Praise God for 

HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES!!!
