Jesus Died and Rose on the 3rd day

"Not much has been said on what happened in between His death on the cross and His raising for death on the third day. We need to be reminded what happened in between. "

I have been reading an article this week and it kind of open up my mind and to even feel the magnitude of what our Lord of done for us.

We often talked about what the Lord have done one the cross, from the movie The Passion, we are shown how much he suffered physically when he was whipped, nailed, spit, pierced, mocked. How he endured the pain? We were moved, some broke down watching this vivid images on how the Lord suffered.

We talked about how the Lord took all our sins on His shoulder on the cross how He redeemed all our sins. How he died and rose again on the third day. Victoriously??

Not much has been said on what happened in between His death on the cross and His raising for death on the third day. We need to be reminded what happened in between.

When the Lord cry out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?", He was not crying out for the physical abuse He had to endured but for what He was going to face next. It was because of the sins He bore for each one of us. That He felt the separation from God. Some will interpret, God have turned His face away from Jesus. It was not just death He was going to face, but the damnation in Hell, the eternal damnation that we were to face in Hell. He took our place and took it all upon Himself.

The Lord overcame it and defeated Hell itself. He rose victoriously from the grave. What a victory! What a joy!

So, let us not just be reminded of the sufferings He endured while He was on earth, up to the moment He drew his last breath on the cross, but also the suffering He endured for us in Hell, taking the very punishments meant for us, the punishment and the wrath of God of not just my sin, or your sin but for ALL mankind! I can’t even begin to imagine how severe it is for one soul but for ALL the souls?!

We can’t express enough our gratitude for what the Lord have done for us, for there is no greater love that the Love that our Lord have demonstrated to us not just on the cross but when He was down below.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.

For the Least of You

" Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me  " Ruth went to her mail box and there was only one letter. She picked it up and looked at it before opening, but then she looked at the envelope again. There was no stamp, no postmark, only her name and address. She read the letter: Dear Ruth: I'm going to be in your neighborhood Saturday afternoon and would like to stop by for a visit. Love Always, Jesus Her hands were shaking as she placed the letter on the table. "Why would the Lord want to visit me? I'm nobody special. I don't have anything to offer." With that thought, Ruth remembered her empty kitchen cabinets." Oh my goodness, I really don't have anything to offer. I'll have to run down to the store and buy something for dinner." She reached for her purse and counted out its contents. Five dollars and forty cents. " Well,I can get some bread and cold cuts, at least." She threw on her c...
