SUPER SUNDAY!!! 4/9/23
John 20:1-19 (KJV)
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Ahhh!! EASTER/RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!
Or as they say in “show business” AND the Bible-
THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
Colossians 2:15 (KJV)
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Jesus Christ THE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF GLORY-
“MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Jesus “socked it to 'em!!!”
The greatest day on earth AND Heaven occurred on that ONE morning!!!
No other “religion” or philosophy or think-tank, dogma, doctrine, artificial intelligence/AI nor whatever reasoning on mere human beings can deny or equal.
JESUS CHRIST LIVED, WAS CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS..........................
and most IMPORTANT-
JESUS CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything/EVERYTHING pales in comparison!
Long earthly life, prosperity, health and wealth, fame, possessions, “success”...................
Solomon wisely observed:
Ecclesiastes 7:8 (KJV)
8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
No matter where YOU exist today:
“BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF!!!!!!!”
I was up all night last night. I went to bed at 5 AM.
As I thought about TODAY-RESURRECTION SUNDAY- my mind conjured up a sports analogy-SUPER SUNDAY instead of super bowl Sunday.
Super Bowl Sunday is the most watched event every year and millions and millions tune in. Many, many folks spent days and weeks preparing for this “great” event.
BUT a VERY select few actually attend in person and the tickets prices are astronomical and very hard to obtain.
Most of us are relegated to only TV observance and the print or radio medium.
I caught a few precious minutes of the many Churches I personal am and have been involved in over the years. All boasted packed houses-PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!
JESUS IS COMING BACK!!!
JESUS IS COMING BACK SOONER THAN MANY BELIEVE!!!
Are YOU ready/Are YOU prepared for that GREAT DAY???????
Do YOU have “OIL in YOUR lamp??????”
Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV)
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
The KEY Word/the Key Phrase today:
Matthew 25:13 (KJV)
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Have YOU asked Jesus Christ to come into YOUR life and have YOU accepted Him as YOUR personal LORD AND SAVIOR??????????????????
Will you win the SUPER SUNDAY????????????????
Ask Jesus Christ to come into YOUR heart NOW-TODAY-RIGHT NOW!!!!
