God’s Son

Scripture: 54 When the Centurion and soldiers who had been charged with guarding Jesus felt the earthquake and saw the rocks splitting and the tombs opening , they were, of course, terrified. Soldiers: “He really was God’s Son.” 55 A number of women, who had been devoted to Jesus and followed Him from Galilee, were present, too, watching from a distance. 56 Mary Magdalene was there, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. 57 At evening time, a rich man from Arimathea arrived. His name was Joseph, and he had become a disciple of Jesus. 58 He went to Pilate and asked to be given Jesus’ body; Pilate assented and ordered his servants to turn Jesus’ body over to Joseph. 59 So Joseph took the body, wrapped Jesus in a clean sheath of white 60 and laid Jesus in his own new tomb, which he had carved from a rock. Then he rolled a great stone in front of the tomb’s opening, and he went away. 61 Mary Magdalene was there, and so was the other Mary. They sat across from the tomb, watching, remembering. 62 The next day, which is the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went together to Pilate. 63 They reminded him that when Jesus was alive He had claimed that He would be raised from the dead after three days. Matthew 27:54-63 The Voice) “He really was God’s Son.” the soldiers admitted. And then there were a number of women who had been devoted to Jesus. Finally, Joseph of Arimathea, who had become a disciple of Jesus came on the scene. But the chief priests and the Pharisees were still doing their thing. How many were watching all that was happening and how many were ready to say, “He really was God’s Son.” ? It is probably the same today; those who believe, and those who question and even try to destroy. Father, today, I once again state my belief in the fact that Jesus is Your Son! I don’t question that, but stand firm in my trust and belief. Thank You for Your unfailing love for me. AMEN Lord, I will wait patiently for You. I will be brave and courageous as You continue to teach me how to live and lead me on the path of honesty. Psalm 27
