Good Friday. The day that Satan thinks that he is winning. Jesus was arrested and sentenced to crucifixion. He was beaten, whipped & scourged. Made to wear a crown of thorns on His head and then have to carry His cross through the city to Golgotha, where He was nailed to that cross and raised up between two criminals.
I can just see Satan laughing at this whole thing. "Look at the mighty Son of God." "He can't even get himself down off that cross." "How mighty is He now!" "King the Jews." He was thinking that he conquered Jesus and His followers.
He would be wrong.
Little did he know, that God had other plans for Jesus. He would raise Him up three days later and bring Him back to life. The resurrection of Jesus! Hallelujah!!
With His resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death and the grave. He is alive.
Genesis 50:20 (ESV)
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.
As we get ready to celebrate Easter, lets remember it's about Jesus being alive and with us. He died for us, so that we may have eternal life with Him.
HE IS RISEN! HE IS ALIVE!
Amen!
