Who is Jesus? Why did they kill Him?
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor." Luke 4:18–19 NIV
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God..." Isaiah 61:1–2 NIV
Friday — The Day of Pain
Jesus suffered...
Emotional pain
Relational pain
Physical pain
He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:5–6 NIV
Saturday — The Day of Confusion
When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood... Psalm 73:16–17 NIV
Sunday — The Day of Resurrection
He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God. Romans 4:25 NLT
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all. Isaiah 53:6 NLT
“I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die, shall live...Because I live, you also will live." John 11:25 NIV, John 14:19 NIV
It stands to reason, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself. When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With His Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s! Romans 8:11 MSG
I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him. It is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead... Ephesians 1:19–20, The Living Bible
