Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith. For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you won’t grow weary and give up.
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead.
As we continue from the events of Thursday night, we see Jesus!
As we continue from the events of Thursday night, we see Jesus!
Specifically, a few instances in which we poignantly observe evidence that HE…not anyone else...was always in control amid these events. We might even say that Jesus is LORD...
“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
His response for those Jewish leaders, the Sanhedrin with Caiaphas the High Priest leading them, who were his fierce opposition. No more ‘messianic secret’ here. Direct assertion…may be on par with the I AM Jesus stated in the garden just a little while earlier.
“You are a king then?” Pilate asked. “You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
His response when questioned by Pilate. Also lead to a timeless answer to a timeless question:
“What is truth?” said Pilate. After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging him.
Luke 23.28
But turning to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and your children.
His response to the Hebrew women along the Via Dolorossa. A prophetic warning of judgment coming.
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
His response to seeing His mom while on the cross.
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.
His response to His Father…and everyone…tetelestai!! [paid in full]
[“Interlude” = one of my favorite responses to the news on that wonderful Sunday morning!]
On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They’ve taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put him!” At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first. Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then, following him, Simon Peter also came. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there. The wrapping that had been on his head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself. The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then also went in, saw, and believed. For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to the place where they were staying.
John 20.1-10
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!”—which means “Teacher.”
His response to Mary Magdalene that Resurrection morning. Note that once he called her by name, her eyes were opened and she recognized Jesus.
Death is a terrible enemy…but the good news of Easter shows us a blessed perspective…even the FINAL WORD regarding this matter:
What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can corruption inherit incorruption. Listen, I am telling you a mystery: We will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. For this corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality. When this corruptible body is clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body is clothed with immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
