The enemy thought they had won. The son of God was dead. Crucified and buried on Friday. For some just another Saturday but in heaven the waiting was about over. God's eternal plan was about to have it's greatest event in recorded human history.
The power of God would bring back to life the dead corps of Jesus the Christ. The raising of Jesus from the dead shook the earth and shook mankind.
Every year we celebrate this great victory. Every year He shakes the world and mankind again with the unbelievable claim that Jesus lives. I believe not because I have seen but because through faith I have been transformed by the blood of the lamb.
Sunday is coming again and so will the power of God.

Getting Ready For Easter
Easter is a huge deal for the church because it allows us to focus on the resurrected Savior. We can do that anytime, but when the whole world is focused on it, we can make a greater impact. The resurrection is a not only a great event in the history of the world but a dynamic doctrine that the church must teach on. The resurrection must be made applicable to the everyday lives of people.
Over the next few blogs I will be teaching on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:2 "And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
Do we really need to be reminded about the ongoing battle between the good and evil, light and darkness, God verse the devil. On that first Good Friday when Jesus gave up his Spirit and died the devil thought he had won. All throughout the earthly journey of Jesus angels were always present to attend to the business of the God of Heaven. They were there at His birth, after the temptation, after his time of prayer in the garden but they were absent as He hung on the cross. Even the Father turned away as Jesus became sin for us. But on the the third day the angel descends because the King is back from the dead. One again the host of heaven is present to serve the creator of all things.
More to come...

Making Sure It's For Jesus
I came away this week after hearing 5 different messages at our church conference with these thoughts. 1) We need to make sure that everything we do is for the sake of the gospel and done out of love for our savior Jesus.2) We must remain open to hearing where other leaders coming from and recieve what they say in love. 3) We need to depend on the Holy Spirit completely to speak to the hearts of those in attendance.
Everything must be about Jesus, to glorify Jesus and to grow in Jesus.
