No Need To Mourn!!!!

My mom reads the newspaper everyday to see who has passed away. My aunt sent this obituary to me, but there is no need to mourn over this person. I know, what a cruel thing to say, but you will understand it at the end of this blog.

Calvary

Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth, died Friday on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the place of the skull. Betrayed by his disciple Judas, Jesus was crucified by the Romans, by order of the Ruler Pontius Pilate. The causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe torture, and loss of blood.

Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, was a member of the house of David. He was the Son of the late Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth, and Mary, His devoted Mother. Jesus was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem, Judea. He is survived by His mother Mary, His faithful Apostles, numerous disciples, and many other followers.

Jesus was self educated and spent most of his adult life working as a Teacher. Jesus also occasionally worked as a Medical Doctor and it is reported that he healed many patients. Up until the time of His death, Jesus was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor.

Jesus was most noted for telling parables about His Father's Kingdom and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, and healing a man who was born blind. On the day before His death, He held a Last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold His death.

The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb. Roman soldiers were put on guard.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that everyone try to live as Jesus did. Donations may be sent to anyone in need.

Mark 16:5 & 6 says this....

And entering into the sepulchre (the grave), they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. (v. 5)

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. (v. 6)

So there is no need to mourn his death, because he is not dead, he is risen.

I Was On His Mind

Well today was Easter and this morning in church they sung this song. I think the song was really for me and I really wanted to post the song, but I didn't have the words. I said something to my mom about wanting the words and she told me she had them. I am just very thankful for what Jesus did for me. I know some may think that I am nuts, because most people think Christians are nuts. But I have tried Jesus for myself and I will live for him the rest of my life, no matter what anyone says to me. AND I REPEAT NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS TO ME!

When He was On The Cross

I Was On His Mind

by: Mike Payne & Ronny Hinson

v. 1

I'm not on an ego trip; I'm nothing on my own,

Make mistakes, I often slip, just common flesh and bones;

But I'll prove someday just why I say, I'm of a special kind,

For when He was on the cross I was on His mind.

Chorus

For He knew me, Yet, He loved me,

He whose glory makes the Heavens shine;

So unworthy of such mercy,

Yet, when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

v.2

The look of love was on His face and thorns were on His head,

Blood was on His scarlet robe, stained a crimson red,

Though His eyes were on the crowd, He looked ahead in time,

For when He was on the cross I was on His mind.

Chorus

For He knew me, Yet, He loved me,

He whose glory makes the Heavens shine;

So unworthy of such mercy,

Yet, when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

Today we celebrate a risen Savior, but it is also a time to think upon what he has done for all. That he shed his precious blood. At one time a priest would offer a goat for the sins of the people. But in Hebrews 9: 12 it says this.... "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his (Jesus') blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." When it talks about Jesus entering in once into the holy place, what it means is he only had to go in one time. Unlike the priest who had to go into the holy place every year to seek forgiveness for himself and all people.

So as I think about the resurrection of Jesus today, I think about the words that Alfred H. Ackley penned back in 1933. "I know that He is living; whatever men may say."
