It’s Sunday.

Mary Magdalene and some friends head to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body. When they arrive the stone is rolled away.

The tomb is empty.

An Angel appears and tells them - Don’t be afraid. I know you’re looking for Jesus but he isn’t here. He’s risen from the dead, just as he promised he would.

A risen Jesus has walked out.

Fearful but joyful all the same, the women go to tell the disciples as instructed.

Along the way Mary encounters Jesus. Jesus assures her - don’t be afraid. He sends her back on her way to inform the disciples.

Mary finds the disciples and insists Jesus is alive. They’re doubtful. But, just as he said he would, Jesus reveals himself to the disciples.

He gives them these instructions - go out unto the nations and preach the good news. Teach them to obey the commandments I have given. Those who believe will be saved and those who refuse to believe will be condemned. And remember, I am with you always.

Jesus ascends into Heaven. He sits down at the right hand of the father. He remains there today.

Death couldn’t handle him.
The grave couldn’t hold him.

He’s alive. Risen. King of kings. Lord of lords.

A promise fulfilled.

Do you know him?

Today is Sunday. Thank you Jesus, for Sunday.

It’s Saturday.

A dark day. A day of grieving. Mourning.

The religious leaders pay another visit to Pilate.

They remind him that, before Jesus died, he told them he would rise from the dead after three days.

A request is made for Pilate to send guards to protect the tomb. They’re afraid Jesus’ disciples will steal his body and falsely claim he rose from the dead.

Pilate grants their request.

They arrive back at the tomb, seal it, and post guards to protect it.

But what they don’t know just yet is -

A stone can’t stop the rock.

It’s Saturday. But Sunday is coming.

It’s Friday.

Jesus is in custody.

Judas is ridden with guilt. He returns the silver, his betrayal payment, and hangs himself.

Religious leaders deliver Jesus to Pilate, the governor. Each Passover, Pilate releases one prisoner to the crowd. Barabbas, a prisoner guilty of theft, insurrection and murder, is brought in.

Pilate asks Jesus - are you the king of the Jews? Jesus confirms.

Pilate asks the crowd who to release. Barabbas.

He asks what he should do with Jesus, they shout - Crucify him. Crucify him.

Jesus is delivered to the soldiers. They place a crown of thorns on his head. They mock him, beat him, strip him of his clothes.

They head for Golgotha. Jesus bears the burden of carrying his own cross. He is too weak. Simon, a passerby, takes the cross and carries it on Jesus’ behalf.

Jesus, spotless and innocent, is hung on the cross. A nail in each hand and a nail in his feet. A sign is placed above his head reading - King of the Jews.

They mock him, insult him, spit on him, pierce his side with a sword.

Hours of agony pass. Jesus cries out - Father, forgive them. Jesus, in his final moments, prays mercy over his enemies that they may come to know and believe in him.

With one final cry Jesus proclaims - it is finished.

Jesus hangs his head. He gives up the ghost. The veil of the temple is torn, top to bottom, in two.

Joseph takes Jesus’ body. He wraps him in clean linens. He places him in a tomb, a borrowed tomb, belonging to Joseph. He seals the tomb with a stone.

With that, the plan for salvation is complete.

Sin, paid for. Debt, paid for. A promise of hope, mercy, forgiveness, eternal life. Free, if we’ll just trust him. Believe in him.

It’s Friday. But Sunday is coming.

It’s Thursday.

Jesus gives instructions to the disciples on where to prepare the Passover.

It’s evening, supper time. The last supper.

They begin to eat. Jesus reveals that one of the disciples will betray him. They all ask individually if it is themself. Judas asks last. Jesus confirms.

Jesus knew, but Judas ate too.

He breaks bread and gives to them to eat, a symbol of his body. He gives them a cup to drink, a symbol of his blood that will be shed for the forgiveness of sin.

My sin. Judas’ sin. Your sin. All sin.

They head for the Mount of Olives. Jesus predicts that another disciple will betray, deny him. Three times. Peter insists he never would.

Now in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays. He asks God - if possible, take this cup from me. A second time He prays - if possible, take this cup from me. He calls upon God for once more but this time He prays - if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will be done.

Soon after, Judas shows up with a crowd of men. And with a single kiss, Judas follows through. He commits the ultimate betrayal.

Arrested and in the hands of the enemy, Jesus is brought back to town. Religious leaders again try to find fault in Jesus, even seeking false witnesses. They deliver an unjust verdict - guilty.

Jesus is beaten, spat on, mocked.

Peter is found. He is asked if he knows Jesus, he denies. He is asked again, he denies. And for a third time, just as predicted, Peter denies knowing Jesus.

Betrayed again.

It’s Thursday. But Sunday is coming.
