Every promise in the Bible is our inheritance! If you can find someone else he did it for, he'll do it for you!
Matthew 27:62 -66 "On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate 63 Saying "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, 'After thee days I will rise.' 64 "Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead' so the last deception will be worse than the first" 65 Pilate said to them "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how 66 So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard."
The same spirit that tried to keep Jesus om the tomb now is trying to keep our minds in the tomb today!
The devil does not want him - or our minds - to resurrect!
1 John 3:2 "Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is"
Our goal is to be like he was, but it should be to be like he is!
He became sickness! He became sin! We shouldn't try to be like that!
He is risen! He is victorious! That's what we need to be like!
We shouldn't live on the cross, we need to use it to bring us to God! The cross is the door to bring us to our resurrected life! It's not the end, it's the beginning!
Just as Jesus was not found in the tomb, neither shall we be! We live on the victory side of the cross!
Jesus dies so we wouldn't have to! Not only did He already pay our debt, but He turned around and gave us a rich inheritance!
Is Jesus still suffering right now? No! We shouldn't be either!
Matthew 28:1 "Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb"
Dawn - A time of illumination
Tomb - A place of rememberance
The only thing they had to remember back then was Jesus locked up in the tomb!
Jesus is not in the tomb! So why do we still go in there to see him?
We tend to focus on the dead Jesus because it takes no faith! Resurrection takes faith!
Our spirit is in Heaven, but our minds need to catch up!
Our mind is a gateway. It'll either lead you to the Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Darkness
Many people live a defeated life because the only know the tomb, the place of death!
Nobody wants death, they want life! Nobody wants dead church, they want alive church!
John was the closest to Jesus. Not because He loved John more, Jesus is no respecter of persons! it's because John had revelation of Jesus' love for him!
The four gospels all depict Jesus saying different things as he hang on the cross. He said all of them, but each disciple wrote what stood out to them.
Matthew and Mark wrote him saying "My God, why have you forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34)
Luke wrote him saying "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)
John (Who was closest to Jesus) wrote him saying "It is finished" (John 19:30)
The worth or value of something is only as much as someone will pay for it
Jesus paid his life for you! That's how much you're worth to him! He didn't buy you just to watch you be defeated! He bought you to see you victorious! Jesus paid the ultimate price for you to have victory in all areas of your life
When some read the Bible, the hear "You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, die, die, die, die, die!"
Jesus doesn't require for you to die, he requires for you to live!
