It Seemed That All Was
Lost…
Things were not going well for the
home team and then things took a turn for the worse. The leader of the team
went down and when he tried to get up, he went down again. After an evaluation
on the sidelines, the fans worst fears were confirmed and their warrior was
carted off of the field. The crowd was hushed by the sight. It seemed that all
was lost.
Compare the reaction during last
night’s game to how the disciples must have felt after seeing their Messiah
arrested, beaten, falsely accused, and convicted. They had stood by helplessly
as their Champion was nailed to a cross, lifted up, and suffered excruciating
pain and sorrow. They saw Him breathe His last breath and saw His lifeless body
deposited in the tomb. All their hopes and aspirations lay dashed in the dust.
All seemed to be lost.
Jesus rose from that grave and
proclaimed His victory over sin, death, and Satan. His disciples had a hard
time comprehending what they had experienced, it changed everything. In His
death, He won! This was God’s plan so that we could be with Him forever in His
kingdom. He gave up everything so we could have everything in eternity. He
calls us to be His own and serve Him here on earth and forever in heaven. He
changes everything!

is to eradicate. We have had no other
