The Sabbath

It is hard for many today to understand and believe that almost 2000 years ago on this Sabbath that Jesus Christ; who had just been murdered by crucifixion at the hands of the Romans by the desire of the Jewish religious leaders; was actually doing the work of His Heavenly Father. His body had been anointed in death and laid in a new tomb just hours before; but now He was at work defeating death and hell and taking the keys of their kingdoms; He was ministering the Gospel to those held captive in death and leading them forth in liberty into GOD’s Eternal Heavenly Kingdom.

He who had overcome every temptation that is common to man and not committed any sin and had willingly shed His blood from the Garden of Gethsemane to the cross on Mount Calvary; in obedience to His Heavenly Father’s will; though He had died in the flesh He was alive in the Spirit.

He was about to become the first born of the Resurrection, where His bloodless body (because His blood is every present on the Altar of GOD to cleanse and redeem all who repent and confess) would be alive in flesh and bone. He was about to present Himself to the world as the Son of GOD, Son of Man, the Lamb of GOD slain from the foundation of the world to redeem humanity from it’s fallen sin nature to it’s Heavenly calling of the children of GOD.

The Sabbath was the bridge between death and life, between hell and Heaven. But only for those who would believe in JESUS Christ as the Son of GOD in the flesh, the Savior of the world.

By the power of His Spirit JESUS changed the world’s history from rebellion and lawlessness to it’s Heavenly destiny of obedience and service. Yet there are many who refuse to believe and many who are deceived into not believing and many who have not heard the truth of GOD’s salvation for humanity.
