Resurrection Day - Day 10~ ~ The Victory


Resurrection Season ~ ~ ~ Day 10
for the Year of Our LORD, 4.1..2008




For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psalm 16:10



Our LORD came out of the tomb victorious… so victorious that had they known what was going to happen, the wicked ones would never have crucified the King of Glory+.

HE+ accomplished more than one victory. One thing HE+ did to strengthen His+ beleaguered Brethren was to open their eyes and explain His+ coming and going which was written aforetimes in the Prophets and Psalms and other places in the Old Testament. For 40 days HE+ showed Himself+ alive to them. At least once it is recorded --- perhaps there were other times, unrecorded--- HE+ ate with them. HE+ taught them many things during this time, according to the old Christian records. Luke’s account in Acts 1:3 confirms this:

To whom also HE+ shewed himself alive
after His+ passion
by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days,
and speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of GOD:
and also opening up to them
and explaining the scriptures from the Law
and the Prophets concerning Himself+.


Now, let us lay to heart these words of the Apostle Peter, who was delivered of his fear and denial of CHRIST JESUS.


Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you,
as ye yourselves also know:

Him+, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye have taken,
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:


Whom+ God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he should be held by it.


For David speaketh concerning HIM+,
I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
for HE+ is on my right hand,
that I should not be moved:

Therefore did my heart rejoice,
and my tongue was glad;
moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption.

Acts 2: 22-27

The Resurrection of JESUS CHRIST
… the most life-changing event in human history.

We will see why as we explore what happened
during those 3 nights and 3 days
HE+ spent in the heart of the earth.
