Jesus = the Son of the Living God
Jesus died on the cross so that we might have eternal life. He had the power to call legions of angels to save Him when He was on the cross, but Jesus didn't do that. He loved us so much that he was willing to lay down His life for us. Jesus was obedient to death, EVEN DEATH ON THE CROSS! Jesus was whipped, a crown of THORNS placed on his head, and He was crucified. Jesus suffered so much pain on the cross and he died. But it did not end there. The Devil thought he had won a mighty victory. But he was wrong. On the THIRD DAY, Jesus ROSE FROM THE DEAD!!!
Of course everyone says that when Jesus rose from the dead it was the greatest miracle, yes, that is a great miracle. But there is one greater than that. The greatest miracle was the demotion (coming down) of Jesus, leaving all his power and majesty behind, he came down upon the earth. It was like a king becoming a slave or even worse than that. A king becoming a worm! Jesus controlled the whole universe. Jesus controlled all the atoms and molecules, EVERYTHING! But when He came down as a man, he placed himself to be in control of someone. He came as a baby and placed himself in the control of Joseph and Mary. That was the greatest miracle. That Jesus was willing to lay aside his splendor and come down as a mere man.
For Jesus to heal the blind, heal the lame, and raise people from the dead was nothing much because he is GOD. How could the grave hold Jesus back, HE IS GOD!
This is the true meaning of Resurrection Sunday and Good Friday. It is not about bunnies and eggs which people call Easter.
God bless and take care!
Always,
