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.

The Friendship Factor

" First impressions are vitally important. Within 11 minutes of entering a building, people generally decide if they will ever come back again. That means we have 11 minutes to sweep them off their feet! &nbsp" www.battlecry.com Following is an article published on www.battlecry.com which stresses the importance of first impression in today's youth ministry. Today, people make that assessment the minute they stepped into the church ground even before entering the doors. In my own personal experience, when I am church visiting on my travels, the most important thing to me is how friendly a church is. How quick the church members notice you and how they welcome the visitors. These receptions varies from the extreme end of you-seems-to-be-a-shadow-that-no-one-noticed to overwhelming you-are-greeted-by-everyone-and-announced-to-the-whole-church responses, but nothing like a friendly smile and a genuine greeting of "Hi, welcome to our church", being shown to y

Ten Things I Learned From My Dad

" Looking back, I'm beginning to realize how much he taught us not only by his strengths but also by the way he responded to his weaknesses  " Mart De Haan Been Thinking About: Ten Things I Learned From My Dad "Been Thinking About" is a monthly article by RBC Ministries President Mart De Haan. In the memories that come with a parent's passing, I've been reminded of what my dad taught those of us who lived and worked with him. In many ways, Dad didn't have an easy life. Long before his problems with a detached retina, heart surgery, and Parkinson's disease, he lived in the shadow of his own father's colorful and commanding personality. While most people knew Dad as a strong-voiced, caring, and faithful teacher of the Bible, those of us who were close to him know that along the way Dad also wrestled with serious and deep questions about his own abilities and self-worth. Looking back, I'm beginning to realize how much he taught us not only
