Hallelujah! He is the Lamb Who was slain before the foundations of the earth. He emptied Himself and became a man. He humbled Himself in obedience to the Father. He set His very own face toward Jerusalem to bring about His crucifixion. He could have at ANY MOMENT called myriads of myriads of righteously indignant angels to deliver Himself from this mess. And have no doubt that these angels would have come with overwhelming cosmic force to the rescue of their King. He did not allow Himself to be killed. He rendered up His own Spirit to the Father. He said when it was finished. He flat-out kicked in the door to death and Hades, said what He needed to say. And we best believe those in that place listened. He then turned around, walked out, and yanked the keys off the wall on His way out of the grave. death never had a chance. Jesus is in absolute control, even in death. Nothing is too hard for G_d. Jesus is Mighty to Save! Happy Easter. The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. ~ King Jesus, through King David, in Psalm 16
