HALLELUJAH!

 On the third day,  Jesus rose from the grave and hallelujah!  He still lives today!  

Hallelujah, praise the Lamb of God!

And all God's people said, "AMEN!"

VICTORY CRY

I find myself remembering off and on during this day what "Good Friday" means to me, my salvation and my life.  The Girl sent me a video today of the song "Watch the Lamb".  She sends it every Easter season.  I hear and watch it every Easter season.  I cry when I watch it every Easter season.   

My heart cringes every time I think of what Jesus went through on the actual "Good Friday".  He was ridiculed, whipped, scorned, denied, and experiences so much physical suffering that I can't imagine.  Surely his mental suffering had to have been terrible, too.  

He was nailed to a cross, hung there as a criminal between two thieves, but never called angels or his Heavenly Father to his rescue.  He could have, you know?  But he didn't.  He was there because of the sins of you and me.  He died so that we could live again if we only believe on Him and the work He did on the cross.  

Thinking of what a victory cry might have been for Him, I think of three words he uttered, "It is finished."

As I attended a funeral today of a dear friend, I found myself considering heaven now.  My parents are there, so many friends are there, sometimes it's scary how many have gone there.  Can you only imagine the joy they have there with this RISEN Jesus?  It's what our faith truly is.

Remember....a lot can happen in three days and Sunday's coming....Praise be to Jesus who died for ME!  Yes, I believe!

Consider.
