Yesterday was Good Friday. This morning when I woke up I was actually thinking about the fact that yesterday many years ago, a man who was both fully human and fully deity chose to give it all up for the sin of a people who would (even after so great a sacrifice) reject Him. I though about the crowds yelling, “Crucify, crucify”. I wondered if I had lived during that time, would I too be yelling? Would I too have the crowd mentality? Honest answer? I am sure I would. Why? I would not have the luxury of hindsight. I would not be able to match up biblical prophesy with modern day events and realize accuracy. I wouldn’t understand the difference between religion and relationship. In essence I wouldn’t be viewing it from the standpoint of now. After sufficient humility at the thought that God (the creator of it ALL) wanted a relationship with me, with us. I was brought to the realization of something else. Something amazing. Something I felt I needed to share. We celebrate Friday because He died. We celebrate Sunday because He rose, but what about Saturday? Was He napping? Nope, not Jesus. Today needs to be celebrated too. Yesterday, He died. Tomorrow, He’ll Rise. But Today, today He CONQUERS IT ALL. Happy HE CONQUERS ALL DAY!!!!

But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Today instead of a plan I am thankful that Christ conquered it ALL.
