On this resurrection weekend, as we reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it’s imperative to remember that ALL things work together for the good of those that love God and live their lives according to HIS purpose!
God so loved this world that HE gave HIS only begotten son; that whosoever believes in HIM shall not perish but shall have everlasting life! Jesus didn’t understand the plan at the time, because all HE knew was that HE was a man who did no wrong and lived HiS life focusing on HIS Heavenly Father’s Business! HE desired to know why God would forsake HIM when HE was obedient to the call on HIS life. Why would Judas betray HIM, and why would Peter deny HIM when HE hand-picked them to be disciples? HE wondered why he was hated so much when all HE ever did was show everyone love?
Well, now we all know that Jesus came so that we may have life and have life abundantly! We now know that HE is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can get to the Father unless they have a relationship with HIM! We now understand that the horrific death of HIS crucifixion was a setup for HIS coming! Who would have thought that Jesus would have ascended on the 3rd day to live eternally with God!! That was the come-up for Jesus!! He went from death to life, and now sits on the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf!
While we deal with the trials and tribulations of this world and the people within; we must continue to walk by faith and not by sight knowing that God knows the plans HE has for us. Those plans to prosper us, never to harm us, but to give us hope and a good future!! The attacks will come, but no weapon formed against us will prosper!
Jesus is coming back to get the righteous of God in HIM, because HE promised that!! While HE prepares a place for us prior to HIS return, just know eternal life is at hand! God will never leave us nor forsake us; and though it seemed like that is what happened with Jesus, now we understand that it was all a set up for a come up!!!
Jesus is our Lord and the KING of Glory! Before it’s all over, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS Christ is Lord!!! Blessed is HE who has not seen but believes in Jesus’ name!!
