What Has Happened

Have you ever been in a whirlwind of events that left you scratching your head and wondering ... what just happened? Resurrection Sunday is now passed ... what just happened? We gathered with The Body of Believers to revisit the last days of Jesus' life and agony of the cross, then celebrate The Risen Savior with songs of praise, worship and The Lord's Supper. Do the effects of it all continue to pierce your heart, or are they beginning to wane and progressively grow smaller and dimmer? Hear this -- as God saw Jesus on the cross - in the sinner's place - El Shaddai (God Almighty) did not spare Him. Let that sink-in a moment. There on the cross was the Innocent in the place of the guilty. And God did not intervene. He allowed Jesus to be the Substitutionary Payment for my sin-debt. This is what happened! This is not contained to one day on the calendar. And what of those who reject Jesus? Jesus lamented for His people (Israel) who rejected Him: "If they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?" (Luke 23:31). Spurgeon writes of this verse, "If the innocent Substitute for sinners suffers like this, what will be done when the sinner himself falls into the hands of an angry God?" Oh, Believer, we have Good News to tell - The Gospel Message [of what happened] so that those in our circle of influence need not suffer God's desertion nor His condemnation when Christ returns. Let's faithfully share ... what has happened!
