Good Friday, April 18: Luke 24- The critical event.

The entire message of Jesus hinges on the Resurrection. Without Jesus’ rising from the dead, His message would have faded into oblivion. The empty tomb makes all the difference.

Was Jesus a good, even great, teacher?  Probably. But would His Words have been recorded and preserved for millennia if He had simply died on the cross like the other two criminals? Probably not.

The empty tomb makes all the difference.

Today is Good Friday. Today we remember that Jesus died for our sins, God’s perfect atonement for sinful humanity. Thank You, Jesus! But we celebrate Good Friday, knowing the end of the story, knowing Sunday morning we celebrate the empty tomb and risen Savior.

Today my heart is full with thanks to God for His immeasurable riches bestowed on us through Christ Jesus, the Lord… crucified, buried and raised on the third day.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the King of Creation…

All Hail the power of Jesus name, let angels prostrate fall…

O Sacred Head now wounded, with griefs and scorn to bear…

Christ the Lord is risen today, Allelu’ Alleluia..
