Sunday Came

Jesus said the world would no longer see Him, but we would. Because He lives after death, so shall we (John 14:19). Jesus died on the cross, then lay buried in a borrowed tomb, but not dormant. With His last breaths on the cross, Jesus entrusted His spirit into His Father's hands; but only His body of flesh lay behind that stone sealing the entrance. From Friday to Sunday, Jesus completed the Father's way for mankind's salvation: He died on the cross, presented His blood before the Father to pay for the world's sins, and He raised His flesh tabernacle from the grave on the third day (Heb 9:24–28; 10:12–14; Luke 18:33). 

Jesus, who now sits at God's right hand, said, "I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death" (Rev 1:18). Every person who yields their heart to Jesus comes alive in Christ and has the assurance of eternal life in heaven with our Savior, seeing Him face-to-face one day.
