2 Chronicles 31:1-21; Ezekiel 47:1-23; 1 John 1:1-2:11
He said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30
I declare unto you the gospel…Christ died for our sins…he was buried…he rose again. 1 Corinthians 15:1, 3-4
When our Lord said “It is finished”, He spoke of His completed sacrifice for our sin. But the Father wasn’t finished. His plans were not complete. He had two disciples lovingly bury His Son. After three days God prompted others to come to the tomb to witness the tomb and empty grave clothes. He later arranged for above 500 brethren to see Him at once. And He has given Him a name which is above every name (Phil. 2:9). Worship Him today! —Ken Gross
Who died and lives again, who liveth evermore;
Who loved and washed us in His blood,
Who made us kings and priests to God. —Horatius Bonar
