“He Appeared”
1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Paul anchors Easter in eyewitness accounts of the truth that Jesus rose again. The resurrection is a fact. And if it’s a fact that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again (verses 3 and 4), then this is a world-changing historical event that needs to be announced. Paul mentions Peter (“Cephas”) first. … Continue reading “He Appeared”
“Unclean for Their Savior”
John 19:38-42 They were unclean. Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin, and Nicodemus, a Pharisee, would not go to the temple that Saturday. Jewish Law forbid them from entering the temple, because they touched a dead body. As they carried Jesus to the tomb, they forfeited their weekly connection to God, exchanging … Continue reading “Unclean for Their Savior”
“What Wondrous Love is This”
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 The cross is hard to look at. When The Passion of the Christ was released in 2004, it caused a huge stir for depicting the horrors of crucifixion. Some complained that it was too graphic to watch, while a few insisted that this wasn’t even close to how nightmarish and awful crucifixions really … Continue reading “What Wondrous Love is This”
“Not my feet, Lord!”
John 13:1-17, 34-35 John gives us vivid details in these verses. We read about Jesus’ immense love, his divine knowledge, and his careful act of service — washing his friends’ feet. If you’re familiar with this scene, you know that this was a servant’s job, or the job of the person with the lowest status … Continue reading “Not my feet, Lord!”
“Who Is It?”
John 13:21-32 As this Last Supper progressed, “Jesus was troubled in his spirit” (John 13:21). He knows what will happen. He’s known all along. After three years training, encouraging, and challenging these men, they are all going to be tested tonight. Ultimately, they will all fail Jesus (see John 16:32). Jesus tells these men that … Continue reading “Who Is It?”
