The disciples slept.

The betrayal occurred.

The unfair trial proceeded.

The beatings began.

And the crucifixion of the Son of God happened.

 

As the disciples fled in shame, and defeat, and fear … I am sure that they began to question their beliefs.

 

They went from the mountaintop to the valley.  And their belief that they were with the king disappeared under the religiosity of the Jews and the iron fist of the Romans.  They had lost.  And they had lost miserably.

 

 

But God had a different plan.

 

And though He might have exposed it in scripture so that it could not be missed — it was missed.

 

We missed it then.  And we miss it today.

 

Because Jesus was going to rise up … and rise up He did.

 

And in that one event, He changed world history and individual destiny forever.

 

 

And nothing can replace this one great act that we all so desperately need.  It is the greatest thing that has ever happened to us.

 

As our nation hangs in the balance

And our hopes and dreams sit on hold

And our worries of the future consume us

 

We must never forget what Jesus said, and then did, for us, on the cross.

 

John 11 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. 

 

We must return to the cross and the acceptance of Jesus.

 

He is our hope.

 

Charles Coalson once said:

“I meet millions who tell me that they feel demoralized by the decay around us.  The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us, or what laws are passed, or what great things we do as a nation… Our hope is in the power of God working in the hearts of people.”

 

He is the one that can fix it.

 

He is the ONLY one who can fix it.

 

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
