And when He (Jesus) had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And when the they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, Who also said, ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, shall also come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven (Acts 1:9-11) He is coming back!
 
Isaiah 53:5 NKJV
"But He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our inquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him.
And by His stripes are we healed."

Thank you Lord Jesus!
 
Matthew 20:18-19 NKJV

18. "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,
19. and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again."
 
29 days to Easter. Day 11

'When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.......' Luke 23:33-34 https://www.bible.com/bible/100/LUK.23.33-34

If Jesus forgave those who nailed Him to the cross, and if God forgives you and me, how can you withhold your forgiveness from someone else? How can you withhold your forgiveness from yourself? If God says, “I forgive you,” then the only appropriate response is to say, “God, thank You.

We are called to forgive as Jesus did. No excuses. No waiting. Anything short of forgiving immediately and 7x7 is sin. Who are we to hold on to a grudge when God has forgiven us ALL our transgressions in Christ!? Thank you God for Saving Me!

 
my Easter verse 11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. Resurrection power
 
John 3: 16-18 NLJV

16. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

17. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God"

Psa 84:10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Thank you for posting that verse of Scripture, it's been a favorite of mine for many years. Whenever rewards in heaven are mentioned, I've replied, "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God".
 
Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, 'Christ is risen,' but 'I shall rise.' Phillips Brooks

What is Easter to me? I'm Forgiven! I'm Forgiven! I'm Forgiven!!!
 
Day 13
I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. J EREMIAH 31:3


Eternal Father, it is amazing love, that You have sent Your Son to suffer in my stead, that You have added the Spirit to teach, comfort, guide, that You have allowed the ministry of angels to wall me round; all heaven subserves the welfare of a poor worm. Permit Your unseen servants to be ever active on my behalf, and to rejoice when grace expands in me. Suffer them never to rest until my conflict is over, and I stand victorious on salvation's shore.

Grant that my proneness to evil, deadness to good, resistance to Your Spirit's motions, may never provoke You to abandon me. May my hard heart awake Your pity, not Your wrath, And if the enemy gets an advantage through my corruption, let it be seen that heaven is mightier than hell, that those for me are greater than those against me. Arise to my help in richness of covenant blessings, keep me feeding in the pastures of Your strengthening Word, searching Scripture to find You there.

If my waywardness is visited with a scourge, enable me to receive correction meekly, to bless the reproving hand, to discern the motive of rebuke, to respond promptly, and do the first work. Let all Your fatherly dealings make me a partaker of Your holiness. Grant that in every fall I may sink lower on my knees, and that when I rise it may be to loftier heights of devotion. May my every cross be sanctified, every loss be gain, every denial a spiritual advantage, every dark day a light of the Holy Spirit, every night of trial a song.

Mark:14:24,25 NKJV

24. And He said to them, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

25. Assuredly I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
