*/FIRST EASTER WEEKEND/*
*Psalm 22*
*/CRUCIFIXION/*
They came to the hill.
The spikes were driven through His hands and feet.
The cross on which Jesus hung swung skyward,
and fell with a sickening, flesh-tearing jolt into its hold.
Unable to breathe when His weight hung on His arms,
Jesus put His weight on the nail piercing His feet,
And endured the searing pain,
to lift up His body to gasp a breath again.
Life, death, each breath now a blaze of agony.
A blaze of agony which, */JESUS CHOSE!/*
He could have called 10,000’s of angels to free Him.
Jesus was still in control, even at this time.
And He still chose to die.
The 2 thieves hanging beside Jesus both ridiculed Him.
But, then 1 turned, asking Christ to remember him when He came into His
kingdom.
Jesus’ answer was clear.
*/“Today you shall be with Me in paradise.”/*
In these 2 thieves we see our whole world, and the reason for Jesus’ sufferings.
For those who take the step of faith, and call on Jesus as did the dying thief,
seeing the crucified Jesus as the coming King,
there is the promise of paradise.
*/TODAY!/*
We have */NEW LIFE FOREVER/*
We have */NEW LIFE, NOW/*.
All nature now put on mourning, and as darkness flowed over the scene,
the great word of redemption was complete.
The veil in the temple that had signified separation from God was town from top
to bottom.
Jesus gave a great cry, and */He released His spirit!/*
Even in death, Jesus remained in full control.
*/BURIAL/*
They took His lifeless body and laid it in a rich man’s tomb.
The body was wrapped in linen.
The tomb door was sealed.
On the Sabbath all rested.
For the disciples it seemed the end.
Jesus, their hope, had died.
Though they planned to minister to the body,
packing it in funeral spices,
their great dream of God invading history seemed gone forever.
All of life now stretched out ahead,
in empty years,
meaningless years,
years of living by habit,
long after the sense of purpose and meaning was gone.
*/THE PRIZE!/*
Jesus’ death must have left His followers with a deep sense of despair and an aching
awareness of the emptiness of life.
If history’s record had closed with the cross and tomb,
life for us too would be empty.
Life would be nothing but a brief experience of sorrows,
swallowed up by endless nothingness and night.
But the tomb was not the end.
The Resurrection that followed blazes for the power of God,
and demonstrates the amazing energy that transforms death to life;
the same energy that can and will transform our death to new life.
*/RESURRECITON!/*
At dawn on what we now call the Lord’s Day,
the women started toward the tomb with the burial spices.
Their mood was broken when they found the stone that sealed the entrance removed,
2 angels were standing by the slab where the body had been laid.
Easter like any other day is a time of */CELEBRATION!/*
Jesus’ resurrection made it possible for us who know God to enjoy meaningful life after
the death,
with the whole person put back together.
*/BODY, SOUL, SPIRIT, HEART, MIND AND ALL/*
In God’s sight, we are incomplete without our body.
And even though the body that we receive at our resurrection will be different,
it will somehow be like the body we had earlier, retaining personal identity.
Jesus possessed this kind of body after His resurrection,
so that His friends were able to recognize Him.
Please all stand and repeat after me:
*/“I will live forever, because Jesus died and rose again for me.”/*
Please bow your heads and pray with me:
*/“Jesus I am a sinner./*
*/ Please forgive me and come into my life./*
*/ I surrender everything to you right now./*
*/ Come in and help me to live the life you desire for me./*
*/ I ask this in the Name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen”/*
If you said that prayer for the first time this morning,
All of heaven is */CELEBRATING./*
Please come and talk with me after the service.
*/Communion/*
*Closing Prayer *
/Bless food and fellowship/
