• MESSAGE:

Whosoever is blessed of the Lord is blessed. Nobody can condemn, curse or successfully rise against him. Whoever attempts does that at his own peril.

And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the Lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

– 2 Samuel 18:31

• SAD:

Absalom teamed up against his father, David, yet his devices and actions resulted to his own ruin. It is dangerous to try to overthrow someone who has the hand of God upon his life. The Lord fiercely protects those that he has called by name and has sworn by himself that he will never leave nor forsake them, so it is not for you to try to bring them down.

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

-Psalm 105:15-17

GLORY:

The people killed Jesus to stop him from preaching true gospel to humanity, but what happened after his death till date? Jesus has been crowned as the SAVIOR saving the world, the one through whom humanity can attain eternity. He reigns and no power can challenge his authority. At his name, every knee bows and every tongue confesses that “Jesus is Lord.”

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

-Matthew 28:18

¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹ And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:10-11

• DEADLY:

The officials after learning about the resurrection of Jesus and how miraculous that was and how that could potentially lead even more people to believe in Jesus and the message he carries, bribed the guards to spread a false message that Jesus never resurrected but his body was rather stolen from the grave by his disciples. What is happening today? What is our evidence?

Jesus' resurrection has brough salvation, hope and restoration to all lost souls and to as many people who will hear the message of truth and open their hearts to him. In him we find peace, joy and love that knows no bounds. The resurrection that the officials intended to condemn has rather brought freedom and redemption from the shackles of sin and death and the gospel of Jesus Christ has been preached across nations and from generation to generations.
