From the Desk of, Time Veurink: He Has Risen INDEED!

1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”
4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” 
-Mark 16: 1-7 New International Version (NIV)


On the cross, on a Friday afternoon, Jesus took upon himself all of the sins of the world. It was so ugly and violent that the Son of God’s own Father had to turn away. In His pain, Jesus cried out these words,

”My God My God why have you forsaken me?”

The cross cost Jesus everything, even His own life, but it was necessary so we could have life.
 Satan had thought he won the battle.

 But that was Friday and then came Sunday. Early Sunday morning Jesus sends a fatal blow to Satan....
   ....a rolled away stone, an empty tomb, and a resurrected body! On resurrection Sunday, not even death could hold Jesus back.  Death is no longer victorious. In a brief weekend the power and curse of sin had been conquered and because of this we too can have hope.
Paul who met the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus gives us these words:

 55 “Where, O death, is your victory? 
                                        Where, O death is your sting?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 
-I Corinthians 15:55-57 New International Version (NIV)

He has Risen, He has Risen INDEED.
Happy Easter,


Tim Veurink & Family
