TEXT JOHN 19:39-42
TOPIC : THE GRAVE WAS TRULY EMPTY
[39]And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
[40]Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
[41]Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
[42]There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
Nicodemus who came by night to see Jesus and received a life-changing message, appeared at this very threatening period.
He came with about a hundred pounds weight of aloes and myrrh.
It was very critical for the preparation of the Lord's body for burial.
At this time most of the disciples were scattered and were in a very hopeless state.
Their hope and future was gone they all thought.
Some were doubted that he would resurrect.
It was a period of very heavy anxiety, but God kept some men for this very crucial role.
When the story of this present move of God is written, will there be a line or a sentence written about your exploits for the Lord.
Will you be remembered for risking your life for the gospel or will it be anathema maranatha?
God forbid.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
