He Is Risen!
I often wondered why the Friday before Easter is called “Good Friday.” Good is not the word I would use in my natural way of thinking to describe what the son of God went through on that fateful day. A mock trial, an unjust verdict and an unspeakable crucifixion could only be described as tragic. There was absolutely nothing good about it…to the natural mind.
But what followed a few days later makes the events of “Good Friday” make sense. History tells us the tomb where Jesus was placed is empty. Because of His victory over the grave he promises all those who believe in him eternal life, too. Revelation 1:18 – I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Without Good Friday there could have been no Easter Sunday!
I pray this Easter you enjoy eternal life through faith in Christ. Not just when your days are ended but start today to enjoy the Kingdom of God and all its benefits.
He is Risen, indeed!
