CalvaryEaster. Springtime.  New life.

In remembrance of Jesus' piece of work at Calvary.

The onetime English expression for the word Adept meant Holy.  Holy Friday.  Expert Friday.  A very dark day for Jesus Christ.  A day that had to exist.  Without the death of Jesus there could exist no resurrection.  There would be no joyful commemoration on Easter Sun.  There would be no fulfillment of God's eternal programme for the whole world.  There would be no John 3:16.Friday.  Jesus went to the cross for all of us.  Jesus died on the cross. He died for the human being race for our sins past and present. His expiry paid a debt we could never pay on our own.  Expert Friday is a time we should not only remember Jesus' work on the cantankerous, simply accept the 24-hour interval and meditate on, read scriptures of His death and pray; all the while giving thank you to our Lord and Savior.  Jesus' last words on the cross were "It is finished."  His life and work here on earth for his Father was completed.   He walked the world seeking the lost and saving lives.  He loved beyond mensurate, he was higher up the discussion compassionate, his healing powers were much more than than amazing, his teachings were wondrous and he spoke with bold authorisation.  We don't know all Jesus did while he was hither and John tells us in affiliate 21 in that location would not exist enough room in the the world to agree all the books it would take to tell of Jesus'  ministry.

What nigh Saturday? Max Lucado calls it Silent Saturday.

Jesus is silent on Saturday. The women accept anointed his trunk and placed it in Joseph's tomb. The cadaver of Christ is as mute as the stone which guards it. He spoke much on Fri. He will liberate the slaves of decease on Sunday. But on Sabbatum, Jesus is silent. ~1000.Lucado

This Saturday is as well known as Holy Saturday, Easter Eve and The Final Day of Lent.  Information technology was the day of residue for Jesus as his work was truly finished.  He had made atonement for our sin, conquered death,  taken the keys of hell with triumph over Satan!  On this day we await Sunday, the solar day of resurrection, the day nosotros gloat Easter and we give thank you for the light that has overcome darkness.

"Holy Sat was the solar day between the hope and the fulfillment of the hope. Jesus had non only predicted He would be crucified, merely also that He would rise from the dead. Our salvation is based on that promise." ~Rev. Margaret Minnicks

Sunday.  He has risen indeed.  Jesus is non expressionless.  He is alive!

 Easter Sunday.  A smashing celebration of LIFE!  A fourth dimension to rejoice.  Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 11:25-26.  Nosotros have life and eternal life because of the great love our heavenly Father has for united states.  The gratuitous gift of life.  When you are saved by the Grace of God through His Son, you are given this life.  Jesus' resurrection gives purpose, forgiveness, confidence and power.  Resurrection power that will aid y'all to overcome any situation, problem or trial this world can throw at you.  His work on the cross from Friday to Sunday gives peace that surpasses all understanding and joy unspeakable.  The resurrection is the glorious victory for every believer. Jesus arose and on Easter nosotros rejoice because nosotros know that He is coming again!  When He returns on "that day", the expressionless in Christ will be raised up, and those who remain and are alive at His coming will exist changed and receive new, glorified bodies ane Thessalonians 4:xiii-18. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is our reason for accepting Him for salvation. It demonstrated that God accepted Jesus' cede on our behalf. It proves that God has the power to raise us from the expressionless and it is the balls that those who believe in Christ volition not remain dead, but will exist resurrected unto eternal life. That is our blessed promise!

Sunday.  He has risen indeed.  Jesus is non dead.  He is alive!
