Like most popular songs it quickly passed.
We went to the Capital a few years ago & as we walked around the capital looking at the pictures of the Governors.
I thought, *What a difference a day makes*.
Most people could not tell you who the Governor was 20 or 30 or 40 yrs ago.
Yet they spend great sums of money, energy and time to get that job, to be the most powerful men in the state.
A few days out of office we don’t even know who they were or what they did much less we don't care.

All died, we would say untimely deaths, their work unfinished.

*But Jesus' life was cut short.*
Some religious leaders in Israel were jealous that people followed Jesus and decided they did not like his message of repentance & righteousness.
They were afraid they would lose all their political & religious power.

They arranged to use the Romans and courts.

What a difference this one day would make in our lives today.
Luke 24 describes that one day.
Here we get a picture of the emotions & actions of the followers of J.C. over a period of 12 hrs.
!!!!! READ LUKE 24:1-12
Most people think they are the only skeptics concerning the Resurrection of J.C.
God loves honest skeptics.
One of the greatest proofs of the Resurrection is the change in the lives of Jesus followers.
On Passover they saw the death of their Leader and Lord.
On Saturday he was in the grave.
They did not believe he would rise from the dead although he had told them 5 times.
!! 1ST THE WOMEN DID NOT BELIEVE JESUS WOULD RISE.
24:1
 
It is early dawn.
The women have gotten up early to go to the tomb-Mary Magdalene, the woman who had seven demons cast out of her, Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James.
These women had followed Jesus, helping out of their substance to promote his ministry.
They had been among the women who ministered to Jesus in Galilee and who had stood with Him at the cross (Matt.
27:55–56).
They went to the tomb to finish the job of preparing his body for death.
The Sabbath had come and they had not completed the work so they buried His body in a tomb.
They went back on Sunday morning to finish the job they purchased perfume to anoint the body of Jesus when the Sabbath had ended; perfume to keep away the smell of death.
They believe they would never see him again.
They spent a great deal of  $$ money to anoint his dead body because they loved him.
*What a difference a day makes.*
They did not really believe He would rise!
Why would you spend hundreds of $$ dollars on expensive spices to embalm a body if you believed He would rise from the dead?
It is interesting to point out that the women had *2 major problems:*
1st How were they going to get past the Roman guards,
2nd It was a capital offence to break the seal.
3rd How were they going to roll the stone away so they could get inside the tomb?
But when they arrived at the tomb, they found the stone had been moved aside by a *severe earthquake*.
This was the second supernaturally caused earthquake in connection with Jesus’ death and burial, the first one having occurred at the moment of His death (Matt.
27:51).
*Scripture tells* us that the graves of the *Believers *were opened when Jesus died.
*When He rose many of them rose and came back to town.*
~*~*Can you imagine the surprise when Grandpa knocks on the door Sunday Morning and says, I am hungry, let me in I haven’t eaten in 10 years.
But Gramps you have been dead 10 years!
What are you doing here???
All over Jerusalem many families had the experience of a dead loved one being resuscitated and coming back home!
God caused an earthquake on *Mount Sinai* just before He revealed the law to Moses (Ex.
19:18) and on Mount Horeb when He revealed Himself to Elijah (1 Kings 19:11).
