We Believe!

They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. John 19:17-18

He didn't overthrow an empire from that cross, and yet, we believe He did. He acknowledged His title before the governor, but few among His nation believed it. The governor wrote it on a sign over His dying head. He died that day on that cross. Had His testimony stopped right there, we probably wouldn't be celebrating this holiday or talking about Jesus of Nazareth at all. He had already told of His coming death, but He also said something extraordinary to His disciples. "You will see Me again." On the day of His passing, they may have struggled to believe such a strange thing. He had done all the raising of the dead before this time, who was going to raise Him up? And then He did rise up on that morning. And we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Have a glorious Easter weekend in Jesus!
