He reflected His Father's Heart
Last Sunday started the walk of triumph and all the events leading up to this day and then Sunday the culmination of the result of His victory!
Praise Him they shouted, as He entered the city…as they in their naïvetés not having understanding that they too were fulfilling the scriptures, was handing over the Savior to the world. A man who walked in humble means, who then was raised the Son of God conquering death… “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55 NKJV
Death seems so final...and yet to some, in that perspective, it is….to those who seem to have no hope……Yet I know of that great hope, the hope in Him that He reigns alive and well  to those who are believers in Christ,  who have the perceptive or understanding that the grave could not and did not hold or tie Him down,  there are no grave clothes that held or bound Christ…..it was the fireworks as seen at the end of a great event if I may be so bold  to describe my emotions, that has given us the eternal hope in Him. Now that’s exciting!

Just think we once had those grave clothes on….He has delivered us and given to us that same power that raised Him from the dead, that we too can overcome and conqueror the grave clothes.  What has been your grave cothes? Today, right this moment can be the time of your freedom, to walk in lack of restrictions!  To be liberated…yes it seems to be a sad day as we reflector the emotions of viewed movies that illustrated our Savior’s death. The brutality of it seems unbearable, even to watch….yet we know He took those strips and beatings for you and I…so we could be free, unrestrained and liberated.
 He reflected His Fathers heart and was then revealed the Son of God to those who stood and mocked Him. Can you imagine the powerful emotion said by the soldier that stood at His feet? “Truly this was the Son of God!”
I believe and am certain He has conquered every sickness, we sometimes think only of health sickness but there are so many other type of sicknesses that we have allowed to infiltrate our minds! What has been unhealthy for you … emotionally, physically or spiritually?
He has the keys to those demises that keep replaying over and over in your mind…. Let not the enemy steal from you, know you too have been given the keys and authority over death, it’s not our final stop! Know Christ as your Savior so you too can be renewed! It’s simple ask in Him into your heart denounce your sins and live for Him!
He reflected the heart of His Father who loved us so much that God revealed Himself in His Son!  Again I say to you…. “Oh death where is your sting and hell where is your victory for we have overcome by the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus!
He had no gravestones to say “Here lies Jesus”…His gravestone was removed to say “I am risen, I am risen indeed!”

Friday may be here…but Sunday’s coming!
