Dead.....Buried....Gone!


3-27-2014           Matthew 27:62-66

S.            62 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

O.           The tomb of Jesus is sealed shut and guarded by soldiers to prevent anyone from stealing his body. The Jews were making every effort to stop the message of Jesus from being completed. Jesus said, “After three days I will rise again”. The Pharisees knew everything Jesus taught and did and yet they remained in unbelief. They would go to any length to promote themselves as being correct about Jesus and his message.

A.           Mankind is still going to great length to stop the message of Jesus. I will be a voice of faith to all I meet. My message is simple…….Sin separates man and God…….Jesus conquered sin on the cross……If I ask God, in faith believing, to forgive my sin……and abandon that sin……I can have a perfect relationship with God FREE from all barriers.


P.            Father; Thank you for sending Jesus to conquer sin. Thank you for revealing this message to me and accepting me into your salvation. I pledge my Love and my Life to you, my all and my, everything. Amen.
