Christ Died! - Luke 23:33 While realizing the intensity of the physical abuse and pain, don't forget the spiritual agony. Humiliation, embarrassment, and mortification only hinted at the anguish of spirit. Even the route to Calvary was an ordeal of stumbling and suffering as He was led through the crowds.
The Easter Gospel- 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 Of all the events of history no event is more tremendous than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without Christ's resurrection, His crucifixion and death would have been in vain. These two fundamental facts cannot be separated.
Death Died! - 2 Timothy 1:10 When we face the prospect of our own death, we don't know what to do. No one can avoid death or put it off. When your time is up, your time is up. This is a subject many do not wish to talk about.
A Growing Hope! - Romans 10:9 Hope is why we have confidence in the future, confident that God's plan for the creation will ultimately be fulfilled. Most of us live by hope. Hope is a basic motivating force of life. People without hope are depressed, and live in despair.
Easter Headlines! - Matt. 27:35 Had you been able to buy a morning edition of a Jerusalem newspaper on Monday following the Jewish Passover in 30 A.D., its headlines probably would have read:"Jesus of Nazareth Reported Risen from the Dead." Peace And Power- John 20:19-22 The power of the Holy Spirit is a purging power. God will not use unclean vessels. I pray that God will open all our hearts afresh for the purifying power of the Holy Spirit. This is the first requisite for service. God will withhold His presence in power from His on children until sin is put out of their lives. Let the Holy Spirit search and probe our hearts.
Burning Hearts! - Luke 24:13-35 Jesus is always ready to meet us at the turns of our life. He will be there in our greatest disappointments. He will walk with us through our deepest sorrows. God is with us as we travel through life. God will always be with us!
Were You There? - 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 The death of Jesus was not just something that happens to Him instead of me, but it was something that happens also to me. On that Good Friday so long ago was revealed the truth about all men in all times, including me. As I believe in Jesus who died on that cross, what He was and did and what happened to Him determines my own life and destiny.
Come And See!- Matt. 28:1-6 Here is the greatest invitation you will ever receive! "Come and see!" I urge you to "wake up before you die!" Come to Jesus, the resurrected Lord! He will transform your life forever!
