    Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?" Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you." The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not yo...

    Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Don't fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshap...

The Third Day

  • And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Matt. 28:2-6 ESV

    Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed in the garden, mankind had been bound in sin with no way out of it. They had decided that maybe they knew what was best for them and that God was holding something back. It was something they thought they really needed and wanted, the forbidden fruit. Too bad it was poisonous and they both died from it later.

    Their sinful rebellious nature was passed down through the generations and was only broken when Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus went on to live a perfect, sinless life as a man. Just as one imperfect man started it, one Perfect Man finished it. It all changed on the third day when Jesus walked out of the tomb. The power of sin was broken and if satan would have known what was coming, they would have never crucified Jesus (1 Corinthians 2:8).

    Jesus met all of God's requirements, lived a perfect life without sin, and laid His life down for us at the cross. Through His sacrifice mankind was restored to a right relationship with God. The veil in the temple was torn open making a way for us to come into the Holy of Holies.

    Stop looking down on yourself and look to Jesus. He knows your name. Do not set your value by what anyone on Earth thinks of you. Jesus gave His life to set you free. The price of that is immeasurable and He would have done it just for you.

Randy Dodge
Randy Dodge Amen! I pray you had a wonderful day. I sang in choir for all three services today and it was just amazing I am still rejoicing in all of who Jesus truly is!!!! "Then He said, "When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about Me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled." Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And He said, "Yes it was written long ago the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of His name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: 'There is forgiveness if sins for all who repent.' You are witnesses of all these things. "And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as My Father promised...." Luke 24:44-49a NLT   “He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord . ” Psalm 40:3 NLT Singing is DEFINITELY one thing we will be doing in heaven. I am just getting warmed up down here the 1st service was great but the second and third services were beyond amazing! There is nothing like hearing about 7,000 people sing praises to Jesus. It is hard to beat in this life the worship we just experienced and all the souls that got saved but God continually does the spectacular, the supernatural with His power, His presence and His peace for those who know Him, for those who have  repented and put your faith in Jesus dying for our sins, being buried and rising from the grave on the third day which changed everything! Praise Jesus we ran out of Bible because we only had 200 to give to those who got saved today so that means more than 200 people accepted Jesus and were saved today, rescued from sin, delivered from the power of darkness and brought into His wonderful kingdom of light by God's supernatural power accompanied by His supernatural presence that gives a supernatural peace knowing forever we will be with the risen Lord and King of Kings!!! “He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord . ” Psalm 40:3 NLT Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away, rising He justified me freely forever and one day (it could be today!) He is coming O glorious day because Jesus lives I can face today, because He lives I can face tomorrow and life is living just because Jesus lives. Hallelujah Jesus is alive!!! “In that wonderful day you will sing: “Thank the   Lord ! Praise his name! Tell the nations what He has done. Let them know how mighty He is! Sing to the   Lord , for He has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world. ” Isaiah 12:4-5 NLT   God bless you always Randy, an unworthy servant of the King!!!

Ruth Martin
Ruth Martin Thank you, Pastor. I always try to remember that I have been taught that Jesus loved His Father and us so much that He would have died, even if only one of us found our way back. What He gave was so precious, that I feel humbled that He would do so for someone like me.
