Our Lord is risen not just because of his power but character and obedience led to his resurrection.
He was traded in for 30 pieces of silver by his right hand man.
Bitten and smitten; mocked and provoked he stood still without flinching.
A bitter pain from betrayal could not hold his forgiveness.
King Jesus-Christ fell three times with his cold cross looking like he would not rise again and only one Man, Simon of Cyrene helped him.
King Jesus-Christ was hung on a cheap cross meant for criminals.
King Jesus Christ cried out Eli Eli Lama sabathani, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
King Jesus-Christ said I thirst. soldiers lifted a sponge soaked in sour wine (vinegar) to Him. They did not care about him but offered him a cheap drink for Roman soldiers.
A prolonged suffering meant to send King Jesus Christ to hell.
The same crowd who once lifted him worked against him because of jealousy, ambition and despise for the truth.
He went into chasm: deep crack, gap, or opening in the earth or rock, often very wide and difficult to cross.
The Lord was delivered from true love which cannot be broken. He passed this chasm and carried light through it.
Our Lord King Jesus Christ stood for the truth, transformed lives and conquered the cross.
Our Savior has not changed but still transforning lives, praying and filled with gratitude.
King Jesus-Christ bravery would be felft across generations yet unborn.
Philippians 2:10–11kjv
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord…”
His Sovereignty is felt; his Supremacy is acknowledged, his divine Lordship is embraced by all.
King Jesus-Christ is the reason we reflect on Easter which means
E: Excellence
A: Arise
S: Salvation
T: Truth
E: Everlasting
R: Resurrection
Our king has resurrected and there is life after death. How about you? Where are you headed?
Happy Easter.
