nailed to a cross with 3 rusty nails...
by all rights, He should have died from His beating...
He should have never made it to the cross...
and hung between 2 thieves...
one accepted His grace and the other did not...
they could not stop His ministry even nailed to a cross...
for He saved another soul there...
and died there, for all of us...
John 19:30 (King James Version)
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
by His stripes are we forgiven...
by His suffering, we are free...
and for the next 3 days...
He preached in Hell...
so it is written...
that he overcame hell, death and the grave...
John 3:16 (King James Version)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
We can never thank Him enough and I know He doesn't want thanks He wants our love and obedience. It is a Happy Easter because he arose on the third day.
