This weekend is the weekend Jesus is crucified for our sins and rose again on the 3rd day. Death, burial and resurrection. The bible tells us about the tortuous death and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It was a Friday like no other. He had been betrayed by one of his own and given over to those that would hate him, beat him, torture him in the very worst way. He did that so that we could have salvation of our sins and be with with him in Heaven. This we all know. This is very important.
We know he was buried and on the 3rd day he rose again. He was found first by Mary then the other disciples. He was with them here on earth long enough to give them the great commission to go out upon the earth to make disciples of others. They were told, as we are to spread the news of Jesus Christ so that others might also be saved.
However, what was going on in the middle though? What was going on after he was buried? What happened on Saturday? This day is just as important in my opinion as the other two days but for some reason it is not talked about enough.
After Jesus was crucified and his earthly body died on the cross there was a shaking on this earth. We are told he tore the veil. When he tore the veil that gave us a direct connection to God in Heaven. It did not stop there. He descended into Hell itself. Why would he go to such an awful place?
When Adam and Even brought sin into this world Satan took the keys to earth. He brought sickness, disease, sadness, lust and sin into the lives of God's people. He did this as a way to separate us from God. It was his attempt to turn man against God. On Saturday the people were mourning but Jesus was in Hell making a show of Satan. He stripped him of any authority he has on this earth and then on Sunday he was resurrected. He gave the keys back to his believers to have authority over all this earth. He gave us authority over sickness, lack, fear, worry and all that the devil would throw at us. He gave us the Holy Spirit as our helper.
Rev. 1:18, “I am he that lived, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
As we celebrate Easter this weekend let us remember the reason we celebrate! We deserve hell but because of the sacrificial lamb of Jesus Christ we can be forgiven of our sins. We can spend eternity with our Father in Heaven. You do not have to go to Hell. Do you know where your spirit would go if you died today? Are you ready for a life as a believer? It is not easy but it is so worth it.
Say this prayer, believe it in your heart, get a bible and find you a bible believing church. Need help with any of this send me a message!
"Father God I come before you as a sinner. I repent of my sins. I want you to come into my heart and live inside me. I welcome your spirit right now Lord. I believe that Jesus Christ is your son born of the virgin Mary. He died for my sons and was resurrected on the 3rd day. Help me Lord to walk out this life in you. Give me direction Lord and lead me in my decisions Lord. Thank you Lord for your salvation and the living sacrifice of your son Jesus Christ. In Jesus name Amen!"
