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
APRIL 20, 2025 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”
