the EASTER/HOLY WEEK devotionals
part 7
JOHN 19:40-42
Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden was a new tomb, where no one was ever laid. There they laid Jesus therefore because of the Jews perpetration day; for the tomb was right at hand.
Today we celebrate Holy Saturday -the day Jesus descended to the dead to take on satan and his regime - Jesus won the battle down there and also the battle of the tomb - As I was praying yesterday afternoon this thought came to me - Jesus had become a man so He could die for our sins -otherwise no one could have taken His life- which by the way was laid down -no one could take HIS life in reality! Jesus had just been killed- His now lifeless body was moved to a tomb near -by - because the Jews would not allow any bodies to remain on the crosses after sundown since it was Passover -Jesus suffered and died for us - HE gave HIS life so you and me could live with HIM forever- Jesus told one of the thieves that he would be with Jesus in paradise- this same massage is for us who have accepted His free gift of salvation - Jesus was placed in a new tomb in a garden - He was placed there with dignity and care - His followers were always close by - they would suffer for JESUS as well - but that will happen much later- right now it seems like JESUS has been defeated and another rabble-rouser has been put to death and out of the way - still the authorities placed guards at the Tombs door and rolled a large stone to keep Jesus' followers away from taking the body - those guards got a surprise the day after that when JESUS will conquer the grave and hell - He will have completed all that was needed to save us all - JESUS our LORD laid down HIS life to save us!
This Holy Saturday -lets celebrate HIS Life and remember HIS death!
For the SON will rise soon! Rise and Shine for JESUS today-
JESUS was gone three days - but HE never left our side -His death brought us life- lets spring forth in praise tomorrow for JESUS will rise again!!!!!
you cannot keep a Good man down!-Newsong
because CHRIST died for us -we have eternal life!
