Passion week

 The son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.  Luke 24:7

I tend to get a little emotional during passion week.  Contemplating the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.  He was innocent and the only one whose blood could cover our sins.  Only Christ's sacrificial death on the cross could satisfy Gods wrath against sinful man.  As soon as Christ was nailed to the cross, he began to pray for those who crucified him.  His prayer softened the heart of one of the two thieves that were on each side of him.  The one knew he himself deserved to be on that cross and he saw that Jesus was innocent.  The one prayed with humility asking Jesus to remember him.  The thief, now a forgiven child of God!  The other one's heart remained hardened and died in his sins while the very Savior of the world was right next to him.  If you seek Christ you will find him and he will show himself to you.   On the same day Christ rose from the dead, he appeared to the two disciples that were on their way to Emmaus.  Christ brings comfort to them as he explains his death on the cross was not a mistake.  That his suffering and death on the cross was God's divine plan from the very beginning.  This wasn't an accident, where an ambulance had to be rush to the scene.  No, this was the appointed way to the Glory of God! 
Have a Happy Resurrection Day!
