Easter

A remarkable story

Arabic

Have you ever watched a movie where the plot twists and turns, Something happens and you think Wow, I didn't see that coming.

That must be how the disciples felt when Jesus died.

Jesus was a good man, he was a teacher and miracle worker, why would anyone want to kill him?

Why would anyone want to accuse him falsely?

And yet he was.

I am sure the devil rejoiced when Jesus died, But his rejoicing wasn't from strength, Why? Because this was all part of God's plan.

The Devil didn't have a victory that day, He thought he did but he didn't because Jesus whole purpose was to come and die on the cross for our sins.

When Jesus was born in that little stable in Bethlehem the plan was for him to die on a cross.

It was God's mission.

And God had a big surprise up his sleeve, Resurrection.

Jesus wouldn't stay dead, after 3 days Jesus would rise.

It was all part of God's plan.

Jesus conquered sin and death and now we are forgiven and free.

God's plan worked, He had outplayed the devil, In fact God used the devil to accomplish his plan.

The devil didn't see resurrection coming.

If you are a believer in Jesus, If he has forgiven you of your sins then there is a day coming for you of resurrection.

One day you will die, but that is not the end of the story because one glorious day you will rise again.

In resurrection power,

Amen.
