Holy Week: Day Seven
Holy Saturday
March 31, 2018
> > > Please read I Corinthians 15: 50-54
From Genesis to Revelation, we are warned that "it is later than you think." Paul writes to Christians in Romans 13:11-12: "The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."
There are millions of people around the world who do not have peace at this moment because they have never found the secret of peace. Some of them may have riches today as a result of greed and covetousness; but their souls are lean, their hearts are cold toward God, their consciences are dulled, and their minds are blinded. They need to know that there is a God of marvelous love who sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to this world. And as a demonstration of His mercy, Christ-who is the Prince of Peace-went to the cross to make a way for peace between God and mankind.
A Question to Ponder:
Are you living in the reality of Jesus' victory over death? In what tangible ways can you share that victory with others so that they, too, can have life?

WERE YOU THERE?
"They crucified Him, and with Him two others." (John 19:18)
Words & Music: African-American spiritual
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
